Crown Prince Frederik's Patronages and Charities

[Muhler]

He, sure did, Polyesco, he sure did.

And more importantly each of the 100 children present were also presented with each their own tree, which they are going to plant in various places in Aarhus municipality.
Being children we can rest assured the tree will be planted and that they will check up on their trees for the first crucial months.
IRRC as it is now, around 20% of Denmark is forest or woodland. The aim is to increase that to 30 % within the next decade or so.
That from an all time low in the mid 1600's when only 4 % of DK was forest or woodland.
Aarhus is very blessed in that regards in that there are trees all over the place. Not least inside the inner city blocks and courtyards, but there also forest to the north and south of the city extending almost into downtown Aarhus. Apart from that several forest have been planted around the city within the past 30 years, providing a varied landscape and a very rich bird life.
Why flap around in the countryside when you can live in the big city, where there is plenty of food and light 24/7?
Of course that means birds of prey are moving in as well and they are not overly concerned with humans. In fact a friend of mine and myself sat on a balcony in Aarhus this summer watching a peregrine, no less, sitting pondering it's next move, without giving a hoot about us watching it.
But what about cats you ask? Well, the Horned Owl is moving closer these years as well. So mis (DK-word for p*ssy) may sneak around at night thinking she's the top predator - she isn't!
There are occasionally outraged stories about a cat-killer on the lose. And there are cat-killers around, but they are not human...

The oak, Frederik was presented with, is here in DK called a King-Oak (very appropriate) and it actually 15 years old, but because it has spend it's live in very fertile dirt it's the size of an 50 year old oak.

A new patronage for Crown Prince Frederik!

It was announced today that he has become Patron of the Danish Hunters' Union, "one of Denmark's largest green organizations with over 800 local associations and 90,000 members".

Besides representing the interests of hunters, the "association works for the conservation and improvement of nature, supports and promotes research in nature, and conveys the joy of hunting and nature for children and young people".


Crown Prince Frederik takes over the patronage from his father Prince Henrik who had been Patron from 1972 until his death in 2018.

Thanks, Iceflower.

I can add that the Hunter's Association (there is basically one one here in DK) is, in contrast to other countries, growing. The new members are very much people who live in the cities and not least young women.
The most common reason for joining, and becoming a hunter, is a wish to get closer to the nature and the wildlife. - You can get a lot of experiences simply by sitting and waiting.

In other countries hunters are subjected to quite a good deal of resentment, but not here in DK. Presumably because the country is so small that everyone know someone who hunt. It's difficult to vilify a group of people, if you uncle and older sister are among them.
Another reason IMO opinion is that there is a pretty unsentimental approach to hunting here in DK. There is no attempt to hide what it is all about - killing animals and why. Nor is there any "lion-king spin" on hunting.
School and kindergarten children routinely visit hunters, see shot animals being broken up.
Just as importantly, and that I think is the main reason why Frederik accepted this, is that the association is very much dedicated to preservation and to maintaining and indeed increasing areas with "wild nature" as far as that is possible in a small country.
The Hunter's Association work closely with the nature preservation organizations as well as the fishing and ornithological associations keeping a close eye on the condition of wildlife and nature.

So without elevating hunters to saints, (they are not!) I think it's a good thing Frederik becomes their patron.

Yesterday, Frederik as patron, presened grants for the Anders Lassen Foundation.
