The nature reserve is considered suitable to increase its conservation value, primarily through free development. The objective is to maintain conservation values in the most untouched condition, and further develop them. The natural reserve runs through location/BNR.: 152/1, 153/1 in Vestby municipality and covers a total area of approx. 115 acres.
