A Click for the Forest Foundation has saved Verle old growth forest. This is an 82 ha forest of old pine trees with some birch and juniper together with occasional oak and alder. A large part of the forest is classified as a "naturvärdesobjekt" (forest with ecological values) according to a survey by The Swedish National Board of Forestry.
