Nature reserves alert: Watch out for fallen trees

Several nature reserves in the Malå and Norsjö areas were severely affected by the ravages of storm Hans. The County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) strongly advises against visiting reserves with extensive storm-felled forests.

This includes nature reserves like Borup, Malå-Storforsen, Näsuddberget, and Rismyran.

"Trees can unexpectedly fall down, making it dangerous to be in these areas," Länsstyrelsen writes on its website.

Länsstyrelsen is currently assessing the affected reserves and gradually clearing paths and facilities.
