Ol-Nilskojan

Decision year: 2002

Size: 1.5 km²

Municipality: Strömsund

Administrator: County Administrative Board of Jämtland

Protection area: Nature reserve and Natura 2000 area

The reserve is located six miles north of Strömsund. From Lidsjöberg you take road 342 towards Harrsjön. After 4.8 kilometers you turn left and then the reserve is on the left side of the road after two kilometers.

Welcome to Ol-Nilskojan. Please note that within the reserve it is not allowed to:

• make fires, except in specially designated places
• capture, disturb or harm mammals, birds, frogs and reptiles, as well as damage their nests and spawning grounds or collect eggs
• climbing nest trees or deliberately staying closer than 100 meters to a bird of prey's nest, lair or burrow
• disturbing the ground, boulders or vegetation, dry trees or other dead wood
• picking and collecting natural products (e.g. wood fungi, lichens and mosses) with the exception of berries and edible mushrooms
• collecting invertebrates, such as beetles and land molluscs
• driving motorized vehicles off-road throughout the area
• construct snowmobile trails.

Paragraph 2 does not prevent the practice of hunting. Point 7 does not prevent the off-road transportation of felled moose. This presupposes that vehicles with low ground pressure are used and that the shortest and most suitable route for transport is chosen.

Other rules apply if you want to conduct any kind of activity in the area, see the relevant reserve decision for full regulations. There may also be other laws to take into account, such as the Reindeer Husbandry Act.
