The agreement is expected to provide 60 new jobs.During the Corona crisis the Danes made a pilgrimage to nature.

It serves two good purposes. We get maintained facilities out in nature for the benefit of all Danes and we give people who would otherwise go unemployed during the crisis a job says Minister of the Environment Lea Wermelin.The 30 million kroner means that each of the Danish Nature Agencys 16 local units around the country can hire three to four new employees for six months over the summer.
