Prestegårdsskogen Nature Reserve
Prestegårdsskogen Nature Reserve (Norwegian: Prestegårdsskogen naturreservat) is a nature reserve on the southern side of the island of Engeløya in the municipality of Steigen in Nordland county, Norway. It is a heavily hazel-forested area; other than a few far smaller exceptions, it is the northernmost known hazel forest known. Various other species find their northernmost extent here.[1]
The 276-decare (68-acre; 27.6-hectare) nature reserve was created in 2000, and it has since been expanded to the east to a total of 1,153 decares (285 acres; 115.3 ha). The elevation of the reserve ranges from 20 to 500 metres (66 to 1,640 ft) above sea level.[2]
