Habitat types

The following habitat types are described in the bird sanctuary:

Protection purpose

The general protection purpose is “the preservation of the open fields with traditional forms of use and structures as well as special protection programs for the preservation and promotion of the meadow, marsh harrier, hen harrier and corncrake populations. In addition, there is the protection of sufficiently large and undisturbed resting places for the bird species in the field such as birds of prey, lapwing, Mornell plover and golden plover. The Hellwegbörde is of outstanding importance for migrating and resting birds of prey, waders and songbirds in the fields. "
