description

The nature reserve is located between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Hoya in the forest area “Sellingsloh”, which is stagnant in a terminal moraine area, in the middle of a predominantly agricultural region. It places a natural and structurally rich beech forest under protection. The forest form has meanwhile become rare in the area of ​​the Lower Saxon geest plates , as the stocks stagnated on nutrient-rich soils, which were preferably used for arable farming . The area is characterized by partly old trees. The predominant tree species are common beech and sessile oak , which can reach an age of well over 100 to sometimes over 200 years. The forests are characterized by a high proportion of old and dead wood . In the herb layer are u. a. Carex Pilulifera , wavy , wood sorrel , wood millet , Thorny male fern and blueberry to find. The few still existing common oaks are overgrown by much younger beeches. The situation is similar for the sessile oak.

In some places oak forests grow thick with common oak, sand birch , quivering poplar , red beech and buckthorn . The herb layer is here u. a. also formed by pill-sedge, wire-smith, thorny worm fern and bilberry. In addition, there are spruce forests used for forestry in the nature reserve , which are to be converted into deciduous forests in the long term.

There are small areas of humid biotopes - a Schlatt with swinging lawn and small bodies of water. These are of particular importance to amphibians and insects . On the Schlatt z. B. marsh ostrich grass , dragon root , gray sedge , beak sedge and various peat mosses as well as narrow-leaved cotton grass . The dragonflies, the Nordic and Great Mossmaid, which are typical of bog, are found here. To preserve the moor community, care measures are necessary to protect the area from emerging woody growth. In the small bodies of water z. B. Frog bite , water lily , crab claw , whorled milfoil and common water hose .

The nature reserve is a habitat and a. for different bird and bat species . So in the nature reserve u. a. Black , green , great spotted and small woodpecker , stock dove , jackdaw as well as various tits , finches and thrushes can be found. The common raven and eagle owl are also native here.

The nature reserve borders in many cases on further forest areas and in places on agricultural areas , in the south also on the residential development of Memsen. In the northeast it is crossed by the state road 330 between Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Hoya and the Eystrup-Syke railway line. Several forest and hiking trails run through the nature reserve .

Naming

The nature reserve is probably named after the Hanoverian forest adviser Heinrich Burckhardt .
