Protected landscape area of the county's valley area and side valleys
The landscape protection area Talraum der Grafschaft and side valleys with 104.2 hectares lies between Grafschaft and Schmallenberg . The area was in 2008 by the council of Hochsauerlandkreises with the landscape plan Schmallenberg Southeast as a conservation area designated (LSG). The LSG consists of five sub-areas. These are valley areas of the county and side valleys with grassland floodplains. Smaller lean grassland communities and brook areas in the LSG are designated as legally protected biotopes according to § 30 BNatSchG. The LSG partially extends to the buildings.
The landscape protection area Talraum der Grafschaft and Seitentäler was designated as one of 58 landscape protection areas of type C, meadow valleys and significant extensive grassland in the urban area of Schmallenberg. As in the other type C landscape protection areas in Schmallenberg, the 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 Schmallenberg 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.
