Nature reserve grassland around the Plästerlegge

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nature reserve grassland around the Plästerlegge with 4.95  hectares is located south of the waterfall in the municipality of Bestwig in the Hochsauerlandkreis . The area was designated as a landscape protection area (LSG) in 2008 with the Bestwig landscape plan by the district council of the Hochsauerlandkreis . The LSG is one of 17 landscape protection areas in the municipality of Bestwig. In the municipality there is one type A landscape protection area, ten type B landscape protection areas and six type C landscape protection areas . The grassland landscape protection area around the Plästerlegge was designated as type C LSG,Meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the municipal area of ​​Bestwig.

The LSG starts right on the edge of the village. The nature reserve Plästerlegge - Auf'm Kipp borders the LSG in the northeast. In the east, the LSG goes to the municipal boundary.

Protection regulations

As in the other type C landscape protection areas in the Bestwig landscape planning area, this LSG prohibits the conversion of grassland and fallow grassland into arable land or other forms of use. First afforestation and the creation of Christmas tree crops is prohibited. A maximum of two years of arable use within twelve years is permitted, provided that this prepares the renewal of the sward. This is considered an extended nursing shift . In the case of extended care changes , a minimum distance of five meters from the central water bed must be maintained.

Protection purpose

The designation was made to supplement the nature reserve designation in the valley floodplains of Bestwig to create a network of open-land biotopes so that animals and plants can keep migrating and spreading, and to preserve the occurrence of protected bird species and the protection of species-rich plant communities.

According to the landscape plan, the LSG was identified because it lies in the catchment area of ​​the Plästerlegge stream . In the LSG there are swell troughs and inlets for the Plästerlegge. On contractual paths over the county cultural landscape conservation program one should eutrophication be prevented through extensification.
