The park at Oslo Airport Gardermoen
Welcome to the park at Oslo Airport - a place to thrive for big and small who are out flying.
Did you know that right outside the "doors" of the airport you will find a small park?
On the mounds in the park, flower meadows have been sown for your enjoyment, but also for our little flying friends the "pollinators". Here it is not cut before the flowers have bloomed and set seed and that is why it can look a bit "messy" here - just the way the pollinators like it
Around the airport there are large areas of sandy soil and flowering meadow plants which are a paradise for many insects. Through adapted care of dedicated areas, we contribute to and preserve these good habitats for the insects.
The measures at Oslo Airport ensure good living conditions for several species that are currently endangered. The work is a contribution to the national collaboratioin to take care of pollinating insects.
Meet some of the flying - take a good look around you, maybe you spot a nice bumblebee or exciting insects.Feel free to send us a picture marked #parkenosloairport.
Bumblebees are peaceful insects that rarely sting. it is said that bumblebees burn instead of stinging, but this may be because the stings cause a burning pain. Only queens and workers sting.
Welcome to take a look and relax a bit in the park while you wait for someone or if you are going on a trip and want some fresh air before departure!
