- According to the weather forecast, the wind will be southerly in connection with the burning and the wind is therefore expected to go up towards Rejmyre and Igelfors.

The smoke development is strong during the actual burning and people who stay in the area may feel the smell of smoke for several days after the burning, says Magnus Melander, biologist at the county administrative board, in a press release.

This nature conservation burning takes place in the Stockgölen nature reserve.

On Sunday, the county administrative board set fire to an island in Ydre municipality.

- The purpose of nature conservation burns is to preserve habitats and benefit biodiversity. Many plant and animal species depend on it burning in the forest at regular intervals.
