The area Schwalm-Nette plate with Grenzwald and Meinweg is a with Regulation 1983 of regional councils Dusseldorf and Cologne being instructed European bird sanctuary (reserve identifier DE-4603-401) in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia .
The Birds Directive of the European Union serves to preserve the wild bird species native to the territory of its member states and to regulate the protection, management and regulation of these birds, their eggs and habitats .
location
The five sub-areas of the 77 square kilometer bird sanctuary “Schwalm-Nette-Platte with Grenzwald and Meinweg” are located in Mönchengladbach and the districts of Heinsberg , Kleve and Viersen . They mainly extend directly on the border with the Netherlands , between the federal motorway 40 in the north and Wegberg in the south.
description
The protected area "Schwalm-Nette-Platte with Grenzwald and Meinweg" is defined as a "unique habitat complex of still waters, light pine and mixed oak forests, heather bogs and heaths, near-natural rivers, moor, swamp, swamp and alluvial forests as well as mixed beech and oak forests" described.
This large, natural habitat diversity and its often very good characteristics make the bird sanctuary in the Lower Rhine lowlands extremely attractive for a large number of breeding, resting and migrating bird species. It is a nationally important bird sanctuary with outstanding breeding occurrences of, for example, bluethroat , woodlark , teal , stonechat and little grebe .
