History
Ringing activities in Sundre started May 16, 1976 at the initiative of Per Göran Bentz who the year before discovered the lush bush lands of the forest in connection with a holiday.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s the ringing were only conducted in the spring, and then with a few ringers and assistants. During the early 1980s the activities expanded gradually to include even autumns, but then at Hoburg cliff. The new wider activity, came to require a new type of organization and in 1986 the association Sundregruppen was founded. The association is run as a nonprofit association with both active and supportive members.
