Historian Niels Christensen, who published the four-volume work Dyrehaven in 2025, takes the audience through the park's story from around 1900 to the present day. This is the second of two lectures, and it follows the folk-festival heyday of the park, with its fun and sport in the south and nature protection and beauty in the north.
Christensen traces how the park lost its status as Denmark's national forest and how its direction shifted from aesthetics and social life to nature conservation and biodiversity. He draws on his research to share anecdotes, cultural history and the people behind the park's development, and he is happy to take questions from the audience.
