Canoeing and Bird Watching at Sävarån River

We meet up in Sävar (north of Umeå) during the evening and hop on the prepared canoes. Following the river downstreams, we keep our eyes and ears open for waterbirds along the way. About halfway the leaders will start a fire and prepare an included dinner. After this we continue downstreams, ending the trip around sundown, at Skeppsvik (where the river meets the sea).
