Description

Several bird species thrive in Årstaskogen, such as the tufted titmouse, the common robin, the great spotted woodpecker, the nuthatch and the goshawk. The rare fungus pine tick, which grows high up on the trunk of old pines, is also common in the area. A varied broadleaf forest grows at Årsta farm. In the eastern part of Årstaskogen there is also an area of broadleaf forest with oak, lime, maple and ash. The area also has high cultural-historical values, such as Dianelund allotment garden and Årsta farm.
