Development and maintenance measures
As additional development and maintenance measures, existing arable land is to be converted into grassland on a voluntary basis within the framework of contractual agreements. Shore trees with hybrid poplars should be replaced by native trees when they are ready to be cut. Fish ponds are to be turned into natural habitats. For individual unauthorized fish ponds, specific measures were specified in the landscape plan. Spring areas and brook banks should be protected from cattle kicking.
