What's new

Keep in mind in this area

There are hunting restrictions in this permit area.

On 6 April 2022, the Finnish Government and the Ministry of the Environment issued a decree on nature conservation areas in the province of Central Ostrobothnia (245/2022 and 246/2022). From 1 May 2022 onwards there will be species-specific restrictions on hunting in nature conservation areas. The nature reserves of Isoneva, Lehtosenjärvi and the upper reaches of Lestijoki river are located in the hunting area (Finnish Government Decree 245/2022 on the nature reserves of the province of Central Ostrobothnia) and the nature reserve of Iso-Ruonanen (Finnish Government Decree 246/2022 on the nature reserves of the province of Central Ostrobothnia). In these areas, hunting is restricted in terms of game species and hunting seasons.

Check the restrictions carefully in the permit terms and on the area map.
