The council asks residents to fill a Wish Tree at the library

The council asks residents to put an orange on the Wish Tree.

The council asks how residents want Longyearbyen to look in the future.

The council has planted a Wish Tree in the public library, just inside the door. The council now hopes the tree will be filled with many orange oranges from residents of all ages.

The council asks residents to write a wish, an idea or a thought on one of the round, orange notes and attach it to the tree. The council asks whether residents want more meeting places, safer routes to school, new play areas, better hiking opportunities or something else entirely.

The council wants input from the whole population, but particularly encourages children and young people to take part. The council says they see the local environment with different eyes, and that their ideas are important when the council plans the future Longyearbyen.

Each orange on the tree represents a thought about how the town can become even better to reside, play, learn and live in.

The council asks residents to come to the library, pick an orange note and help the council grow good ideas for the future.
