The research project "Sustainable Rural Environments: Practicing, Managing, and Performing the Gendered Outfields" (Outgen) has started the campaign to highlight the very varied use of the Norwegian outfield. 

– We´re inviting influencers already promoting the outfields on Instagram to use our hashtag #minutmark, Aase Kristine Lundberg, the project leader for Outgen, says. 

– We have also started our own Instagram account called "Min utmark", where everybody that works on the project shares their outdoor adventures.

An influencer on the team
To get the party started, Outgen has hired influencer Alice Asplund, known as frkasplund on Instagram. With 18K followers, Asplund has a great reach when promoting the hashtag #minutmark. 

– My goal is that as many people as possible are using our nature for different activities, not only because it´s healthy for the body, but also because of the positive effects on mental health, Asplund says. 

– This is the main reason I want to be a part of this campaign.
