List of natural forest reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia

The list of natural forest reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia contains 75 natural forest reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia . The list contains the official designations for name, identifier, natural area , size and the year of designation. The geographical location is averaged and the information about the district / city relates to this information. However, the reserves can extend over several of these areas.

For about 40 years (more since the nature conservation year 1970), natural forest reserves have been designated throughout Germany in order to preserve a range of total reserves. Natural forest reserves are forests that are largely in a natural state. The natural forest development takes place here undisturbed. In the course of time, primeval forests with strong trees and a lot of dead wood develop there . In North Rhine-Westphalia there are currently 75 such natural forest reserves with 1669 hectares (as of May 2019).
