Borga hage och slottsområde

Abundant in rare species

Older natural deciduous forests and swamp deciduous forests, such as those found here in Borga hage, belong to the habitat types that have high conservation values. The presence of old, coarse trees is abundant.

Many plant and animal species are entirely dependent on this habitat for their survival. More than a hundred rare species have been found here, such as wood sorrel, silver violet, false devil's mushroom, scaly gallwort, long-legged frog, ribbed cylinder snail and elm leaf beetle.
