Also, the Park organizes various events for school children where they can learn more about the the Park’s nature.
- The park tracks the movement of large carnivores like the lynx, bear and wolf.Also, the Park is very active in speleo-research.
- Eagriculture in Risnjak NPis more oriented to cultivatingsmall plots with crops and raising farm animals.Beekeeping is also very popular in Gorski kotar, and you can find a special type of honey in Risnjak NP, called medun.
- Traditional craftspopular in the past, particularly in relation to the processing of wood, are now almost gone.One of these crafts is making šindra. This is a method of processing wood which results in wooden tiles used for isolating houses.
