The Seemoor and Schwarzes Moor near Zahrensen is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxon town of Schneverdingen in the Heidekreis district .

The nature reserve with the sign NSG LÜ 291 is 160  hectares in size. The area has been a nature reserve since January 20, 2011. In the nature reserve was originally reported at 16 June 1978 approximately 15 hectare nature reserve "Seemoor" with the license plate NSG LÜ 040 and 1984 reported, about 136 hectares are protected landscape risen "Black Moor at Zahrensen". Parts of the nature reserve are also designated as 82.52 hectares of the FFH area “Black Moor and Sea Moor”. The responsible lower nature conservation authority is the district of Heidekreis.

The nature reserve “Seemoor and Schwarzes Moor bei Zahrensen” is located west of Schneverdingen. It consists of two sub-areas, the "Seemoor" north of the district road K 30 between the Schneverdingen districts of Zahrensen and Großenwede and the "Schwarzen Moor" south of the district road K 30 and north of the state road L 170, which runs from Schneverdingen to the Schneverdingen district of Lünzen and further on Hemslingen runs.

The two sub-regions in each case between flat undulating dunes areas lying vermoorte hollows under protection. The bog areas, which have been partially cooled by peat extraction, are characterized by wet heaths , transitional bogs and swinging lawns as well as bog forest areas with birch and pine trees .

In the southern “Black Moor near Zahrensen” there are several dystrophic still waters . This part of the nature reserve is mainly characterized by sandy heaths with forest areas, but also wet grassland .

The development of both sub-areas is to be promoted through waterlogging , the extensification of grassland use and the conversion of arable land into grassland. Furthermore, the regular de-cussing of the open moor and heather areas as well as the removal of non-local plants and woody species is planned.

Some of the public roads in the southern area were given up as part of the designation as a nature reserve. Two through the reserve runs rural roads remain as a running on the northern edge Reitweg received.

The “Seemoor” is drained via a ditch to the Osterweder Bach, which flows a little further north through the nature reserve “ Moor bei Osterwede ” before it flows into the Ruschwede. The "Black Moor near Zahrensen" drains through several ditches primarily in a southerly direction towards the Veerse .
