Ikuri

The forests in the Myllypuro nature preservation area stretching from Ikuri to Kalkku have been classified as an ecologically important Natura 2000 site.

The district, intended mostly for residence by war veterans and immigrants from Finnish Karelia, mostly consisted of the lands of the Kaarila mansion in Epilä.

Building of houses started very soon in the area, in fact so soon that before 1950, the district had 31 inhabitants even though the streets, the electricity and the sewage plumbing were still under construction.

Old cart roads crossing the area were used as transport pathways, leading to the rocky forests and swampy fields of Ikuri from Lamminpää, Rahola and Villilä.

As well as lots of roughly 10 acres, 31 residential farm fields of a couple of hectares each were founded in Ikuri.
