The local nature conservation project “Natural Values in the Grimeton World Heritage Site” aims to complement the Grimeton World Heritage Site’s Care and Maintenance Plan with a more comprehensive view of the area’s natural values to preserve and develop them.
Grimeton Radio Station was constructed between 1922 and 1924. The facility required a large area of land, so 106.2 ha of pasture land was purchased from farmers. Since the radio station was put into operation, the area has been continuously grazed. This has created conditions for rich biological diversity. The Grimeton World Heritage Foundation manages the area’s cultural heritage, which largely consists of maintaining the complex 1920s facility. The main document for this work is the care and maintenance plan, where a few pages deal with the site’s natural values and how their protection and conservation will be managed. The knowledge about the species and habitats within the area is limited, which increases the risk of destroying natural values during maintenance work.
The project is funded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (LONA), the County Administrative Board of Halland, and Varberg Municipality, and runs from 220519 to 241231.
