The
Solander Society
The
Solander Society was formed in spring 1999 in Öjebyn,
Old Town of Piteå, the birthplace of Daniel C Solander.
The aim of the Society is to honour the memory of Solander.
The Society has layed out a small garden, the Solander Garden,
at the very spot where Solander was born. The garden is
lovely surrounded by the small church-cottages of the old
town. In the middle of the garden there is a monument, "Solanders
stenar"(Stones of Solander). The monument is
made out of a solid rock taken from the primary rock outside
the village. The rock has the shape of a wave and on top
of the rock a globe is placed. The names of the places Solander
visited are engraved on the globe.The Society has got financial
support from the Royal Swedish Academy of Science and from
the Swedish Linnean Society as well as the local business
community and the city council.
