Description

On Ahmasaajo mountain grows an undisturbed, fire scarred coniferous forest. Together with a mire area, it forms a sanctuary for many species that are marginalised in otherwise heavily impacted landscape. Traces of the Three-toed Woodpecker can be seen here and there on spruce that is partly stripped of bark. The area is 0.9 square kilometres in size.
