NORDIC NATURE PROJECT

I write about nature, flyfishing and the environment.

I'm also writing about some of the last remaining true wilderness areas of Scandinavia and their conservation history:

1. Børgefjell National Park (Photo Gallery) - Lomsdal Visten National Park (Photo Gallery)

​

Børgefjell is one of the first national parks established in Norway. Protected because of the untouched qualities of this large mountain area.

​

Lomsdal Visten is a newly established national park. It is a rugged and somewhat inaccessible coastal mountain area in the middle of Norway. A varied place with green valleys, raging rivers and barren mountaintops.

​

2. Sarek National Park - Padjelanta National Park - Rago National Park

​

These three national parks spans across a continuous alpine mountain area just above the arctic circle. 

3. Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness Area - Upper Anarjohka National Park - Lemmenjoki National Park

​

These areas in the interior of Finnmark and northern Finland is a vast expanse of unspoiled arctic nature.

4. Upper Pasvik National Park - Vatsari Wilderness Area 

​

In the border areas between Norway, Finland and Russia lies a great wilderness. These areas are part of a larger protected area entity called Pasvik-Inari Trilateral Park.
