Lappland is a nature reserve in Skinnskatteberg Municipality in Sweden.[1] It is located around 5 km east of the small town Skinnskatteberg, and the Swedish county road 233 runs through it. The reserve consists mostly of wetlands and pine forest.[1] Two smaller lakes, Håvtjärnen and Bladtjärnen, are located inside the reserve.
Between 2014 and 2017, controlled burning was conducted three times to preserve biodiversity by imitating natural forest fires.[2] The last two were part of the European Union project Life Taiga.[2][3]
