Red-listed species found but forest still felled

The forest north of Älvdalens kyrkby has been felled despite objections from Naturskyddsföreningen. Volunteer surveyors had found 15 nature conservation species in the area. The association now plans to report the matter to the Swedish Forest Agency.

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.

Volunteer surveyors had previously identified 15 nature conservation species in the area. These species are red-listed and considered worthy of protection by the association.

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