Site details
Site description: An area of forest interspersed with a few lakes, situated to the south of Stockholm.
Rationale for qualifying as KBA: This site qualifies as a Key Biodiversity Area of international significance that was identified using previously established criteria and thresholds for the identification of Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) and for which available data indicate that it does not meet global KBA criteria and thresholds set out in the Global Standard.
Additional biodiversity: Important site for breeding forest species, including raptors and owls.
Delineation rationale: Old area: 3500ha Changed due to more accurate information on borders and size. /Robert Ekblom (2007-10-22)
