Description
In the reserve there are coarse spruce trunks lying around and trees that grow slowly. Together with the moist air, it is a good environment for rare lichens, mosses and fungi.
The nature reserve has a natural forest where conifers are most common. In some places there are deciduous trees such as old, coarse aspens. The area has long been left fairly untouched. This means that species that do not survive modern forestry can thrive here.
The reserve was established so that the forest can develop freely, the water balance of the soil cannot be disturbed and other protected areas together with Ängtjärnshöjden are valuable for nature in this part of Värmland.
Animals and plants
Here are hanging lichens such as yarn lichen Alectoria sarmentosa, and violet-gray thorn lichen, Bryoria nadvornikiana. On lying tree trunks, you can find forest moss, Anastrophyllum michauxii, wood moss, Anastrophyllum hellerianum, and long-lobed moss, Nowellia curviflora. Old aspens can host the large aspen tick, Phellinus populicola and the flat feather moss, Neckera complanata.
