These kind of snow-loads usually accumulate on pine trees especially in #Lapland and on medium sized fells.

In celebration of World Forest Day, our blogger An In celebration of World Forest Day, our blogger Anja shared this. "Living in the forest in #Lapland changed my life for the best. The forest not only provides a lot of treats, such as berries, mushrooms and clean air, but also gives space to calm down and relax. Even a short walk in the forest on a busy day feels like a mini holiday."
