The fields

Öijared has many open spaces that have been in use for a long time. There are grazed pastures and meadows where we take grass, but above all our open fields today consist of golf courses, with smaller areas also with forest mix for grazing horses, sheep and cattle. As we develop Öijared's game farm, land is also set aside for game reserves and game fields, as well as areas for winter challenge if necessary.

Öijared flora

At Öijared we are proud of our rich flora. In spring, the lily of the valley competes with the whitetop hills and in the sunlight of an early morning, the dew sparkles in its cap.

Ferns and meadow horsetail border the golf courses and a fine forest edge grows meadowsweet, meadow buttercup, bluebell and St. John's wort. Eyebright, goldenrod, wood clover and plenty of white poppies also grow here. If you keep your eyes open, you will discover orchids and violets on the roadside.

Oak pastures

According to our nature conservation agreements (partly included in Natura 2000) with the Swedish Forest Agency, more than ten percent of our forest is managed for environmental reasons. All other forestry activities follow the Forestry Act with its general environmental consideration.

Each area is managed to enhance its specific character and features. For example, our old oak pastures, where hundreds of cows used to graze, can be preserved and developed.
