"This should be taken care of a bit by itself and it must not cost anything. But the trails should be seen as a facility that costs money to provide, says Andreas Edholm, project manager at Jämtland Härjedalen tourism.
Often managed voluntarily
The majority of the trails found on private land are currently managed by non-profit associations and the entertainment work is estimated at approximately SEK 10 million per year. But more money is needed for organization and better quality assurance of the joints.
Through the project, the association hopes to gain support from the county's municipalities by allowing them to help by contributing with financial resources.
"We need to involve the public sector in a different way," says Andreas Edholm.
