Lammi Biological Station

Lammi Biological Station is a research facility operated by the University of Helsinki, positioned between two river basins in the Kanta-Häme region with dedicated laboratory spaces. The facility contains modern equipment like microscopes and analytical instruments, along with a conference room for scientific meetings.

The University of Helsinki founded this research station in 1953 as a center for long-term scientific studies in the region. It has remained a place where researchers continuously investigate natural systems and organisms over decades.

Visitors can walk through nature trails that connect the public to the research happening at the station and the natural surroundings. Local people use these paths to explore the different habitats and understand how the landscape is being studied.

The station sits within a natural area accessible via walking trails that change with the seasons and offer different views throughout the year. Visitors should dress appropriately for local weather conditions and allow time to explore the grounds at a comfortable pace.

The facility sits near Lake Pääjärvi, one of Finland's deepest lakes, which provides a distinctive aquatic environment for research. Scientists use this unusual setting to study how aquatic systems function and how wild organisms adapt and evolve.
