He has not been able to ascertain how big the area is because the lack of snow in winter made it difficult to track. Instead, the County Council's nature watchers have traveled along the forest roads in the area and have been looking for spillage. The area is quality assured by the Viltskadecenter and the county administrative board found a lot of spillage on a small area in the area.

- The wolves have settled here in the area around Siggefora and Östfora and that we will probably see a rejuvenation this spring.

The female has migrated to Uppland from Gårdsjö in Värmland and the male has come from the Tiveden in Örebro. It is a normal behavior for the wolf to leave the family and form their own territory.

Why have they settled here?

- It was empty. and they probably bumped into each other here in the area and love arose, says Mikael Larsson.
