Landscape protection area grassland islands around Winterberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nature reserve grassland islands around Winterberg with 99.66  hectares is located around Winterberg . The area was in 2008 by the council of Hochsauerlandkreises with the landscape plan Winterberg as a conservation area designated (LSG) Type C. The LSG consists of 15 sub-areas. With the exception of two sub-areas, the LSG is a legally protected biotope according to § 30 BNatSchG. A part of the area has largely belonged to the FFH area Bergwiesen bei Winterberg (DE 4717-305) since 2004 . Further sub-areas of the FFH area are located in other areas of Winterberg. In the LSG there are extensively used mountain meadows with manure use and pasture areas. In the LSG there are almost only montane mountain meadows with lean grassland communities.

Legal framework

The landscape protection area Grassland Islands around Winterberg was designated as one of 13 landscape protection areas of type C, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the urban area of ​​Winterberg. As in the other 12 landscape protection areas of type C in the Winterberg landscape planning area, there is a ban on converting grassland and fallow land into arable land or other forms of use in the LSG valley system of the Elpe . 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 Winterberg floodplains to create a network of open-land biotopes so that animals and plants retain the opportunity to migrate and spread, and to preserve the occurrence of protected bird species and protect species-rich plant communities.
