Regretting Reforestation: Discourses of Landscape and Culture Change in Mountain‐Farming Norway
The rural district of Valdres in central Norway is home to one of the largest intact transhumant farming zones in Europe. The low‐mountain stølslandskap , or “summer mountain farming landscape,” a singular, sub‐polar socionature, is undergoing significant economic and environmental transition. As transhumant farming decreases and anthropogenic climate change progresses, the culturally treasured stølslandskap is becoming reforested and effectively…

While today’s parents and grandp…
