Southern Lapland
Region
Municipality of Posio (www.posio.fi,
in Finnish)
Area: 26 sq. km. In 1996 the Finnish government made a decision
in principle to establish an old-growth forest reserve at Korouoma.
The area
is managed by Metsähallitus.
Korouoma Canyon is located on
the border of Northern Ostrobothnia and the Region of Koillismaa in Southern
Lapland. The area’s landscape is exceptionally rugged and grand. The aim of this
future nature reserve is to protect species of old-growth forests, of herb-rich
forests and of cliffs.
The Korouoma area offers a multitude of possibilities for hiking, nature
watching and fishing as well as learning about the culture of the area in
context to nature.
