Between Kila\u00e5n and Motala str\u00f6m, Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n flows through a rift valley landscape with deciduous forest, wetlands and occasionally flooded forest.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Habitat and wetland restoration will be implemented on 74.6 hectares<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area includes Skriketorpsravinen, a nature reserve and Natura 2000 site, where the small watercourse Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n has cut deeply through thick layers of fine-grained sediment in the valley bottom. The ravine is varied with several smaller side ravines. Within the ravine grows broadleaf forest. The project area also includes Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5ns mader, an area south of Skriketorpsravinen where the Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n flows through a landscape with wetlands and deciduous swamp forest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Several important fish species<br \/>\n<\/strong>The River Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n is a small coastal watercourse with a rich biological life. The river is home to several important species, such as trout, river lamprey, eel and bullhead. Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n is considered to be the most important spawning area for sea trout in the county. Breeding birds include kingfishers and grey wagtail. There are also otters in the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Dry channel comes to life<\/strong><br \/>\nThe project will remove three partial migration barriers, which are former hydropower plants and mills. A 60-meter culvert will be removed, allowing the river to return to its natural channel, which is currently dry. Habitat and wetland restoration will be carried out on 74.6 hectares of land previously channelized for agriculture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Stable system all the way to the sea<br \/>\n<\/strong>The aim is to recreate the a more natural planform (the course of the river) through the Skriketorp Gorge. This would increase and improve the habitat for aquatic species. A more natural course would also reduce ongoing erosion and sediment transport downstream. The aim for the stretches in question is to have a good ecological status reflected in natural stream habitats and high densities of<br \/>\ntrout. The restoration is expected to have a large-scale positive effect on the Pj\u00e4lt\u00e5n ecosystem, with increased biodiversity, improved fish production and a more stable hydrological system down to the sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-7\">[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section disable_element=&#8221;yes&#8221; el_name=&#8221;Projektf\u00f6rfarande&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<p class=\"ia-eyebrow\">Restoration of xxx<\/p>    <header class=\"ia-head ia-head--left\">\n      <h2 class=\"ia-head__title\">Here we are now<\/h2>      <div class=\"ia-head__lead\"><p>Fusce augue nibh, rhoncus quis mattis et, aliquam sit amet lorem.
