The first half of the newspaper is dedicated to Slitere National Park nature heritage. Slitere National Park researchers describe animals and plants in this territory. The German biologist and journalist Beatrix Stoepel and geography professor Horst Sterr express their opinion on Slitere National Park. The outstanding biodiversity of this territory made the journalist choose this territory for shooting a popular-science film and encouraged the Kiel professor to take 30 geography students on a field trip to the area. Also there are stories and information about the district's culture heritage of coastal fisherman villages as well as the district centre – Dundaga. In the newspaper you will find information about this year’s Travel Day in Slitere that will last for two days – 4th and 5th June, 2011. During these two days you may choose among 17 routes, 11 practical workshops, taste traditional food and take part in other activities.
