Kevo Strict Nature Reserve
Kevo Strict Nature Reserve, Strict nature reserve in Utsjoki, Finland.
Kevo Strict Nature Reserve is a protected area in Utsjoki featuring a deep canyon carved by the Kevojoki River flowing through it. The gorge displays dramatic rock walls and varied terrain shaped by water and glacial processes over time.
The site became protected in 1956 as part of Finland's conservation efforts in Lapland. The surrounding landscape was shaped by glacial activity thousands of years ago.
The University of Turku maintains a research station at Kevoniemi, conducting scientific studies on subarctic environments since the reserve's establishment.
Two marked hiking routes offer different ways to explore the reserve and experience its landscapes. Visitors should come prepared with proper gear suited to the northern climate and rugged terrain.
The reserve contains rare plant species adapted to the harsh conditions of the subarctic region. These specialized species are difficult to find elsewhere in northern Europe.
