New Project!

Time for some really exciting news from Svångemåla! My neighbour has developed a plan or project to firmly put our village on the map by making it a small tourist paradise. He intends to develop some of the jungle like meadows into grassing areas for domestic animals, prepare hiking paths, places for barbecues and other facilities that will attract nature lovers while at the same time making sure that the original ambiance and beauty of the area are not lost. Local, regional and even international organisations and possible stakeholders have been consulted and application, permits and other forms are being filled in and submitted. The largest local area newspaper, Barometern, has reported on the project in a vary favourable way and we are now keeping our fingers crossed that those who got the final word will be equally positive.

The main objective of this initiative is to open up a truly wonderful part of Sweden to all who are interested in the typical fauna and flora of Småland and thereby increase their knowledge and understanding of it.

Svångemåla News will of course keep you all up to date about the progress of the project.
