Thanks to restoration work, the water in this Haaganpuro stream is clearer than before. The stream's biodiversity is rich and diverse. Rare sea trout come up from the sea here and up into the Maunulapuro stream to spawn. In winter, the graceful white-tailed deer fish dives from the bottom to retrieve water butterfly and white-tailed deer larvae. The hallmarks of a healthy, diverse stream are: meandering, rapids, clear water, shade from edge trees, trees and branches in the water, gravel and sand bottom, water mosses, benthic animals, fish fry, flying insects and the birds that prey on them. What can you see of them in this stream? Giant balsam grows in places on the banks of the stream. It is an unwanted alien species that spreads effectively and takes over the original flora. It is a good idea to eradicate giant balsam, for example, with resident weeds. A natural stream acts as a water purifier. In rapids, the water becomes aerated rapidly, and oxygenated water is especially important for salmonids. Numerous microorganisms living on the bottom are responsible for keeping the water clean. They convert leaves and other matter that have fallen into the water into food suitable for fish and large animals. Source: https://vihreatsylit.fi/maunulan-luontopolku/
