Nature Night at the National Library, Tallinn, Monday, December 7th, 2015, at 18 o’clock (Estonian time). For live broadcast see below.
We spend this pre-Christmas Nature Night in the enchanted world of small islands and islets guided by Tiit Leito, and others from Hiiumaa. Well-known nature man and photographer Tiit Leito will show evocative photos and tell fascinating stories. Tiit Leito knows and loves our islets. He has served as director of the Hiiumaa islets landscape protection area for 25 years.
Tiit Leito will also introduce his new book, ”Maakillud meres - Shards of land in the sea”, one of the most beautiful books of this year. The album-like reference work has 350 pages, 420 photos, and 18 maps of islet region areas.
Texts from the book will be read by Helle-Mari Kõmmus, Hiiumaa folk dance group director.

Introduction by Andres Onemari, Director General of the Environmental Board, himself a Hiiumaa man.
