The thickness of the pine is 1.9 meters at the breast circumference and the length of the tree is about 14 meters.
An old pine tree in Hattula has recently been protected as a new natural monument. Tranquilized pine grows on the small island of Lumiriipa in Takajärvi.
The tree growing at the tip of the promontory stands out for those moving on the water from the rest of the island’s trees due to its robust size. The thickness of the pine tree is almost two meters at chest circumference, and its length is about 14 meters.
There are currently around 30 natural monuments in Hattula, most of which were protected in the 1960s. Natural monuments are usually special, large trees or groups of trees, but also boulders. In Hattula, there is apparently Finland’s only red ant mound protected as a natural monument.
Natural monuments are valuable from a historical or folklore point of view and also act as preservers of natural diversity.
The municipality will take care of marking the natural monument in a clearly visible way with signs indicating conservation. A post is most commonly used for marking, where the sign can be seen in the terrain at a height of 1–1.2 meters and is placed within a radius of 1 m from the conservation area.
Damaging and defacing a pacified natural monument is prohibited by the Nature Conservation Act.
