Tallinn nature

The book “Tallinn loodus” is intended primarily for people who consider Tallinn their home: both for those who grew up here during the “We have a garden street ...” era and for those who are growing up to be city citizens now.

An Estonian’s home has never been limited to what fits under a roof: our concept of home has always included the nature of the immediate surroundings. The same goes for the city.

Tallinn is an interesting landscape with a rich variety of species. The limestone outcrops allow us to take a look back hundreds of millions of years, and the current landscapes have been formed by the interaction of glacial meltwater, land elevations, the sea and wind. A diverse landscape is a prerequisite for a rich nature. How well do we know it?
