Mittimyran

At the heart of the reserve lies Mittmyran, a wetland that is both open and forested, dominated by old, slow-growing spruces and birches. This moist environment is home to many species that thrive on old trees and dead wood. Kvarnbäcken flows through the reserve in a naturally meandering course, contributing to the area's biological diversity.

The forests in the reserve have been partially affected by logging, especially in the more accessible areas, but with the establishment of the reserve, nature will gradually return to a more natural state. Ditches will be filled in to heal the wetland, and trees will age, die, and fall to the ground. The areas with the highest natural values are found in the wetland and along Kvarnbäcken, where species dependent on dead wood thrive, such as the threatened wood fungus rynkskinn.

The Sirges and Tuorpon Sami villages use the forest in Mittimyran as winter and early spring grazing land, and a migration route runs through the reserve.
