The main output of the project is, to establish an environmental education study route with information points, to bring environmental protection and green energy into the field of topics presented in Oru park and  to improve the condition of visitor infrastructure of the route. The results of the project support the preservation of protection values and a learning experience for the park visitors, rise environmental awareness, and provide information about relevant topics – environmental protection and green energy. Oru park as an exhibition space provides a good setting for raising environmental awareness by linking the existing year-round use of Oru Park, the large number of visitors and leisure time spent in the park by acquisition of knowledge - bringing environmental protection and green energy into the field of topics presented in the park. Based on State Forest Management Centres Visitor counting data, in 2021, the number of visitors to Oru Park was 142 300, a three-year average of 140 000 per year. According to the 2021 RMK Visitor Survey, 31% of visits to Oru Park were made in summer (June-August), 26% in spring (April-May), 23% in autumn (September-November) and 21% in winter (December-March)). The main activitities in the project are the creation of environmental education study route with information points (including active elements, if possible), to bringing environmental protection and green energy into the field of topics presented in Oru park and to improve visitor infrastructure on the route (part of the route, including the staircase of Silver springing cave (heritage culture object)).
