The project produced a nature interpretation plan, updated the knowledge on the geological values of the Site and classified them, produced digital solutions and renewed the pedagogical material on the World Heritage Site. Project Lystra’s lead beneficiary was Parks & Wildlife Finland, and other beneficiaries were the rest of the project partners: County Administrative Board of Västernorrland (Sweden), Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU), Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) and City of Vaasa in Finland. Project’s total budget was 1,38 million euros. Besides the EU-funding, the other providers of funds in Finland were the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia, Association of the World Heritage Site of Kvarken Archipelago, and Visit Vaasa/ the City of Vaasa. In Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the municipalities of Örnsköldvik and Kramfors funded the project. 3 INTERPRETATION PLAN Contents Abstract ................................................................. 7 1.
