Land Leases
The foundation owns about 100 plots with house owned by other. Many plots are beautifully situated at or near the lakes Anten and Mjörn.
Hunting Leases
About half of the foundation area is opened to through external hunting leases. In the internal area we are pursuing an active and long-term wildlife management. The animal families of elk, fallow, deer and wild boar are high for area. Hunting for trophy animals are held to a limited extent. Annually a few organized hunts are pursued, both in-house and in collaboration with forestry schools and universities with training in forestry and hunting.
