N2 - Women historically and in the present day are linked to nature through the ways in which female behaviour, societal gender roles and tasks are naturalized. The empirical research on gender and nature relations focuses on land use, agriculture and forestry. This chapter reflects on different perspectives on the linkages between gender and nature depending on which concept of gender is applied in research on nature management. The chapter explains how power relations are expressed in doing gender while doing nature through the presence of persons, the visibility of physical/corporeal exertion and status of nature the visibility of reproductivity. However, constant presence and availability blurs the boundaries between work and private life and gendered implications for men and women. A culture of acknowledgement is required, which will be created and lived by both men and women, and in mutual interaction with conducive structural conditions.
