Berry spots on the map

How to find berry spots
- Choose a species: bilberry, lingonberry, cloudberry
- Habitat estimate from Finnish Forest Centre data
- Picking conditions and ripeness
- Private harvest log
An estimate, not a promise
Yields vary from year to year with frost, drought and pollination.
Berry season by species
Cloudberry ripens first, on southern mires in mid-July and in Lapland in early August. Bilberry follows from late July to late August, and lingonberry is best in September. A north slope and a shady spruce stand run a week or two behind a south slope.
Frequently asked questions
Can others see my berry spots?
Not unless you share a find. A shared find shows the species, date, amount and a location accurate to about 100 m, without your name.
