Dikarback association ends animal care at Falu nature school in protest

The Dikarback association has decided to end its voluntary care of animals at Falu nature school after 18 years. The unanimous decision was made at the association's annual meeting last Saturday in protest against Falu municipality's plans to effectively dismantle the nature school. The group says it has lost its motivation.

The Dikarback association has cared for the animals at Falu nature school on a voluntary basis for 18 years, every weekend and holiday throughout the year. It is now shutting down operations in protest against Falu municipality's decision to effectively dismantle the nature school.

The decision was taken unanimously at the association's annual meeting last Saturday. The group states that it has "lost the drive" due to the municipality's plans.

Falu nature school has served as a site for education and nature experiences, with the association's members contributing without compensation. The municipality's decision has prompted these volunteers to withdraw.

No further details on the municipality's precise plans or the association's next steps have emerged.
