Actions
Currently
The area has scattered infestations of spruce bark beetle. Many spruces have therefore died and will eventually fall. Be careful and avoid visiting the reserve when it is windy.
The bark beetles attack living spruces and then leave the trees. The dead trees do not contain any spruce bark beetles. However, dead trees are important for many other animals, mosses and lichens that live in the forest. Dead trees are therefore left in the reserve for the sake of biodiversity.
Description
The nature reserve has areas affected by spruce bark beetle. Many spruce trees have died and may fall over time, so please be cautious and avoid visiting during windy weather.
The beetles only attack living trees and do not remain in dead wood. Dead trees are left in place to support biodiversity, as they provide important habitats for wildlife, mosses, and lichens.
