The Boreal Ecosystem field station has been operating since 2012. It is located in Auktsjaur, in proximity to the field sites in managed forests and the Reivo nature reserve, and is nestled amidst lakes, wetlands and wooded areas. 

The main functions of the field station are to conduct research on the evolution, ecology and conservation of boreal birds and is currently being expanded to include diverse projects including the human-nature connection through art and expression.
