General
The NSG Kollrunger Moor has a size of approx. 279 ha and was placed under protection in September 2007 by the NLWKN, the Lower Saxony State Agency for Water Management, Coastal and Nature Conservation. It bears the statistical code "NSG WE 257".
In addition, the state of Lower Saxony has a sub-area with a size of 179 ha as FFH area No. 193 (Kollrunger Moor and Klinge), i. H. reported to the European Union as an area according to the European Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive . This makes it part of the European natural heritage.
Flora and fauna
The Kollrunger Moor presents itself in a very different state after the different peat excavation (industrial excavation in the Brockzetel area, hand peat cuttings in the Kollrunge area). Sometimes only thin residual peat layers exist, but in the area of the rural hand peat cuttings there are also areas with greater peat thickness. Since measures to rewet the area have been initiated since around 1987, habitats typical of high bogs can again be found in the center of the area.
Threatened species such as the adder or the rare dragonfly species high moor mosaic maid are now again found in the habitats typical of high bogs .
