Benjamin Hasselberg

Benjamin Hasselberg is a nature guide, macro photographer, and fungal communicator based in Sweden. Working at a local nature visitor center, he specializes in connecting children, youth, and the general public with the hidden biodiversity of local ecosystems. With a background in psychology, Benjamin weaves broader psychological perspectives into his guided tours, reminding participants of humanity's place within the natural world. He is fascinated by how people interact with different organisms in unique ways and loves nothing more than discovering new paths to foster deep ecological connections. Whether through guided walks, macro photography, social media, or public talks, he considers inspiring people to engage with nature the most vital work he can do. He has been obsessed with communicating fungi for a few years, and sees them as a key organism group to highlight if we are to create a reciprocal relationship to the natural world.
