Two forest owners in Vilhelmina have planned to harvest 50 hectares of forest each. Species worthy of protection such as three-toed woodpecker and lappranuncle, are found on the land.
The two forest owners have agreed to reduce the planned felling and leave 10–20 hectares untouched where the protected species have been found. Unclear how forest owners will be compensated for the loss of the forest area, says Linnea Henriksson in Nässjö.
