Description
The varied natural forest with old trees in different stages of decay provides living space for a variety of natural forest-favored species from mosses, fungi and lichens to insects and birds.
The nature reserve is located on the northern shore of Örvattnet and consists largely of swamp forest, wetlands and hardwood-rich mountain slopes. Today's great wealth of deciduous trees, especially older aspen, is a result of the area having burned in the past, with subsequent deciduous growth.
Örvattnet was set aside as a nature reserve as part of a larger project supported by the EU's LIFE nature conservation fund. The aim is to protect valuable natural forest. The area is part of the EU's Natura 2000 network of valuable nature sites.
Animals and plants
Candelabra fungus, wood moss and lung lichen thrive here. The ageing deciduous trees are important foraging and nesting environments for woodpeckers. All of Sweden's woodpecker species have been found in the area.
