Welcome along!
Friends of the common Eider is a project of Archipelago Pares RF. The project aims to benefit the seabird tribes in the Åland region and is divided into two main categories, where one line focuses on support measures for nesting and the other line focuses on reducing predation of nesting seabirds, nests and chicks.
During Åland Spring Fair, you can walk the approximately 1,4 km long common Eider walk together with us at Ådans Vänner, where we tell you about the project and the eiders that nest here. Stora Båtskär is very beautiful and spring is an unbeatable time for a visit. Our management of eiders is also unique from an international perspective. Besides that, it is also an archipelago idyll!
You can either arrive at Stora Båtskär with your own boat or book a ride with Shipland or Fiskelyckan (fee for the transport). Please note! weather dependent.
