Description
Great crested newts live here.
Jan i Myren is a small area of just under 2 hectares of natural forest dominated by spruce on a gentle slope.
The Jan i Myren nature reserve was established to preserve biodiversity and a valuable natural environment. The reserve will also help to preserve habitats suitable for the great crested newt Triturus cristatus. Part of the reserve, "Tjärnar vid Jan i Myren", is part of the EU's ecological network of protected areas, Natura 2000, and it is here that the great crested newt lives.
Conservation of the area is important for the great crested newt to complete its life cycle, both on land and in water. This is achieved by allowing the woodland and other habitats with their flora and fauna to develop freely without external interference. The creation of the reserve also preserves an old coniferous forest with important structures such as dying and dead trees and dead wood.
