The second open call is called “Yard improvement and/or urban farming development services” and it is organized by Helsinki Region Environmental Services. Offers are accepted via offer form from 4^th until 24^th of April. Solutions which are being searched, would improve the yard via promoting, for example, the commonality and biodiversity in the pilot blocks.
