Description
Forest surrounding the valuable watercourse Råbäcken.
The area consists mostly of pine forest and older mixed swamp forest. The swamp forest contains spruce and many deciduous trees such as silver birch.
The reserve was established to preserve valuable natural environments and biodiversity. Now the forest in the reserve will be allowed to develop freely and the natural water balance in the soil will not be damaged.
Råbäcken flows through the nature reserve and continues into Likan and Klarälven. Both watercourses are part of Natura 2000, an ecological network of protected areas in the EU.
Animals and plants
The nature reserve has old deciduous trees, slow-growing spruce trees, a moist environment and dead wood, partly due to the impact of beavers. This creates good habitats for rare species such as the violet-grey thorn lichen Bryoria nadvornikiana and the lettuce-like lung lichen Lobaria pulmonaria.
