number	designation	Place, location	description	Protective reason	image
ND-H 049	2 English oaks	Brelingen ( 52 ° 33 ′ 6.5 ″ N , 9 ° 41 ′ 8.3 ″ E )52.5518 9.685641	The two old oaks shape the image of the southern entrance to Brelingen on the edge of the Brelingen on the west side of the road. Trees of this age and with wide, dense crowns are now rare. In the Geest north of Hanover, oaks are characteristic components of the localities and also have local history meanings.		Image wanted BW
ND-H 050	English oak	Bissendorf ( 52 ° 31 ′ 17.8 ″ N , 9 ° 45 ′ 12.9 ″ E )52.521614 9.753575	Reasons for protection are the species-typical, uniform and beautiful growth, the unusually old age of this tree in the middle of a local situation and its importance for natural history and local history.

ND-H 058	English oak	Bissendorf ( 52 ° 31 ′ 18.5 ″ N , 9 ° 45 ′ 35.2 ″ E )52.521793 9.759788	The oak was placed under protection because of its characteristic and beautiful (even) growth, its importance for the place and thus the local history and because of the rarity of trees of this age.

ND-H 075	Mackensen oak	Wennebostel ( 52 ° 32 ′ 0.4 ″ N , 9 ° 45 ′ 20.9 ″ E )52.533445 9.75581	The tree is very conspicuous due to its size on the Wennebostel, on the south-eastern edge of the village and, together with other oaks, it shapes the townscape here. However, the location at the entrance to the former forester's yard and the road meant that a large part of the crown eaves area was already sealed in the tree's ripening phase, meaning that the supply was not optimal. As a result, several major interventions in the crown were necessary. In spite of this, the typical growth form, which is characteristic of freestanding oaks, has largely been preserved and represents an essential protection ground. In addition, due to its age, the oak is of great importance for science and local history. The approximately 850-year-old oak was supposed to be felled at the beginning of 2014 for traffic safety, after several reports the crown was again massively trimmed instead.
ND-H 077	English oak	Elze ( 52 ° 34 ′ 58 ″ N , 9 ° 44 ′ 26.2 ″ E )52.582786 9.740611	Due to its size, the tree is very noticeable on the southeastern edge of the village and, together with other oaks, it shapes the townscape. The location on a former arterial road and a courtyard entrance has resulted in the projecting crown being unusually high (keeping the clearance profile free). In spite of this, the typical growth habit that is characteristic of free-standing oaks has largely been retained and represents an essential protection factor.		Image wanted BW
ND-H 078	Wet meadow	Abbensen ( 52 ° 34 ′ 0 ″ N , 9 ° 37 ′ 49.3 ″ E )52.566674 9.63035	The meadow represents a geological peculiarity that has become rare, as it is a relic of previously several spring areas on the slope of the Brelinger Mountains, where strata water emerged. It is therefore of great importance for science and natural history and is also worthy of protection because of its unique nature.
ND-H 168	Linden tree in Brelingen	Brelingen ( 52 ° 33 ′ 12.6 ″ N , 9 ° 40 ′ 53.8 ″ E )52.5535 9.6816	The linden tree, with 9 trunks that formed a common crown, was an impressive and probably unique natural creation and worthy of protection because of its special character and beauty. In a storm in February 2002 the tree was almost completely destroyed and had to be cut back. There are only 4 severely shortened trunks that have been knocked out again. Because of the additional importance for the local history of the place, the protection as a natural monument should remain. The linden tree is in the parish garden of Brelingen next to the old bakery. Since its history is still unknown, it can only be assumed that the linden tree grew together from 9 trees planted in a ring. In the meantime, the remaining tribes, together with new plantings on the occasion of weddings in the village, have acquired a new value for local lore and the history of the place and its inhabitants.
ND-H 177	Rieselmoorwiese	Duden-Rodenbostel ( 52 ° 34 ′ 3.3 ″ N , 9 ° 38 ′ 56 ″ E )52.567586 9.6489	The area represents a geological peculiarity that has become rare, as it is a relic of previously several spring areas on the slope of the Brelinger Mountains, where strata water emerged. It is therefore of great importance for science and natural history.	Orchid meadow
ND-H 178	Moor meadow in Resse	Resse ( 52 ° 29 ′ 44.9 ″ N , 9 ° 38 ′ 26.9 ″ E )52.4958 9.6408	The area represents the remainder of a fen with typical vegetation that extended here. Due to the steadily falling groundwater levels, intensification of agriculture and expansion of settlement areas, only a relic of the original landscape and typical vegetation has remained, which has been designated as a natural monument and thus under protection due to the very small-scale expansion. Reasons for protection are the rarity of such habitats and their importance for science.	Gentian meadow	Image wanted BW
ND-H 179	Meager meadow in Brelingen	Brelingen ( 52 ° 32 ′ 12.9 ″ N , 9 ° 40 ′ 28.1 ″ E )52.536925 9.67448	Reasons for protection are the rarity of meadow areas which, due to low fertilization, still have the vegetation typical of the soil and the importance for science resulting from this.	Orchid meadow
ND-H 201	2 oak trees in Negenborn	Negenborn ( 52 ° 33 ′ 9.3 ″ N , 9 ° 38 ′ 16.4 ″ E )52.552594 9.637887	The trees stand on the former eastern boundary of the settlement and, together with other oaks, have formed a typical village edge. The main reason for protection is therefore the importance of oaks for local history. In addition, trees of this age have become very rare.		Image wanted BW
ND-H 203	Pedunculate oak in Mellendorf	Mellendorf ( 52 ° 32 ′ 48 ″ N , 9 ° 44 ′ 16.9 ″ E )52.546666 9.738016	Due to its size and vitality, the tree is very noticeable in the town and, together with other oaks, it shapes the townscape. The protruding and deeply set crown is characteristic of free-standing oaks and represents an essential protection ground.		Image wanted BW
ND-H 253 ND HR 00002	Ash in Brelingen	Brelingen Hauptstrasse 16 ( 52 ° 33 ′ 16.2 ″ N , 9 ° 41 ′ 8.4 ″ E )52.554495 9.68566	Ash in front of the half-timbered building at Hauptstraße 16 in Wedemark OT Brelingen		Image wanted BW
