If you reside only part-time in a rural area at a hunting lodge or a ski chalet, we want to hear from you! What do you think about the landscape in general, and where you now spend time?

Do you spend time in a rural context? 

For instance, you might live in the countryside or in a small town... or perhaps you have a second home (chalet or cottage or camp) in a forested area, by a lake, on a mountain... or maybe you simply rent accommodation for holidays in a rural context. If so, we are interested in hearing from you.

  • How do you enjoy and value your rural area? Why?
