FAQ

I am looking for a job in a national park. Where can I find the available jobs?

— Each County Administrative Board is responsible for staffing and recruiting personnel for the national parks. Jobs are often advertised early in the year, around March-April. Sometimes, the available job listings are published on this website under the respective national park's pages. Most often, job listings can only be found on the County Administrative Board's website. Keep in mind that you can always contact a specific national park or County Administrative Board to show your interest spontaneously.

Where can I buy the patches available for all national parks?

— In the nature centers (naturum) located in or near a national park, you can often purchase that national park's patch. Sometimes patches for other national parks in the county are also available for purchase. If the stock is empty or you wish to buy a patch for another park, the Nationalparkernas hus* can assist. (*Nationalparkernas hus is another name for the Naturum in Tyresta National Park). They sell patches for all national parks and can send patches to you by mail if you live far from Stockholm but still in Sweden. If you wish to order patches through them, email:
