Crown Princess Victoria Inaugurates Wetland in Södermanland

On August 27, 2026, Crown Princess Victoria visited the Krämbol nature area in Södermanland to inaugurate the Storängen wetland. The wetland is located in the Krämbol nature and recreation area, just south of Katrineholm. The municipality has implemented a number of measures there to increase biodiversity while also making the area more accessible to visitors. The area has an adventure club for young people.

These measures include the creation of smaller wetlands to rewet forest areas, the restoration of grazing land, wildlife habitats and nature trails.

The wetland was funded through the EU-funded Interreg BaltCOP project, which is run by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in cooperation with partners in Estonia, Latvia and Sweden. Work was carried out during the winter of 2025–2026, and during the spring and summer, the wetland was filled with water to support a rich diversity of plant and animal life.

As part of the inauguration, speeches were given by Södermanland County Governor Robert Andrén, WWF Sweden Secretary General Gustav Lind, and Katrineholm Municipal Council Chair Johan Söderberg. The Crown Princess inaugurated the wetland by cutting a ribbon at the wetland’s information board.
