Red-listed species found but forest still felled

Despite protests from Naturskyddsföreningen the felling took place in the forest north of Älvdalens kyrkby. The association believes laws were not followed during the process.

Naturskyddsföreningen intends to submit a report to the Swedish Forest Agency for review of the case. The report comes from moratidning.se.
