The group sets out together from the yard of Nature House Villa Elfvik to the Laajalahti work meadow, where already cut hay is raked, lifted onto poles and stacked to dry. The youngest children can help pin the hay poles, older children can rake, and there are tasks requiring different amounts of strength for the whole family. The community effort explores the history of a traditional landscape through hands-on work.

- Accessibility
- The community effort takes place outdoors on a meadow. The route to Villa Elfvik is uneven, and the entrance has at least four steps, a steep short ramp, a heavy door and thresholds. The toilet marked as accessible does not have enough room for a wheelchair. Detailed information about access across the work meadow or stroller suitability has not been published.
