Photo: Hans Sundstr\u00f6m. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>&#8220;This is fantastic news! There has been a great commitment to Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen and I know that many people are happy with me,&#8221; says Sofia Lundell, one of the organizers of the Research Trip at Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen in 2009. <\/p>\n\n<p>The research trip in the Wilderness of Nature Conservation is Sweden&#8217;s largest non-profit forest inventory effort. For a week at the end of July 2009, about fifty people with different backgrounds and knowledge gathered to map nature values and draw attention to the unprotected and valuable forest environments at Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Many species were found, several of which were unique to Medelpad. Expressions such as &#8216;absolutely fantastic&#8217;, &#8216;an experience of a lifetime&#8217; and &#8216;wilderness feeling&#8217; characterized our evening gatherings when we went through the day&#8217;s inventories,&#8221; says Sofia Lundell. <\/p>\n\n<p>It was when the enthusiast Elisabeth Nilsson inventoried old cultural trails at Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen back in 1998 that she was completely taken by the natural values and the special geology that existed there. She then took the initiative for a number of different inventories in the area, including the Research Trip. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8211; Finally it is happening &#8211; however, it took a full 24 years for the area to become a nature reserve! Despite continued inventories by both committed enthusiasts, species specialists, Timr\u00e5 municipality and SLU for more than 15 years, I finally gave up hope that Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen would be protected. Today, there are over 3,000 species, of which just over 190 are red-listed reported on Artportalen. There is even a new species for science, a small <a href=\"https:\/\/mjalladalen.se\/2020\/03\/31\/ny-skalsvamp-for-varlden-funnen-i-mjalladalen\/\">violet bowl mushroom that so far lacks a Swedish name<\/a>,&#8221; says Elisabeth Nilsson.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The County Administrative Board established the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lansstyrelsen.se\/vasternorrland\/besoksmal\/naturreservat\/mjalladalen.html?sv.target=12.382c024b1800285d5863a8af&amp;sv.12.382c024b1800285d5863a8af.route=\/&amp;searchString=&amp;counties=&amp;municipalities=&amp;reserveTypes=&amp;natureTypes=&amp;accessibility=&amp;facilities=&amp;sort=none\">Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen<\/a> Nature Reserve in 2022, which covers 413 hectares. Several of the forests that were inventoried by the participants during the Research Trip are part of that reserve. This year, another nature reserve, Nedre Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen, covering 132 hectares, will be formed at H\u00f6glandsbodarna. This area was also inventoried by the participants during the Research Trip in 2009.   <\/p>\n\n<p>The participants of the research trip came to the following conclusion in their <a href=\"https:\/\/mjalladalen.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Forskningsresan-Mjalladalen_Inventeringsrapporten-1.pdf\">report<\/a> on Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen (2009):<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201d<em>Mj\u00e4ll\u00e5dalen in Timr\u00e5 municipality is a gem, with high natural values linked to both natural forest, living water and cultural land, all packaged in a magnificent environment.
