location

The nature reserve encompasses an approximately 30 km long section of the Seeve starting a little above the crossing of the district road 27 southeast of Handeloh to a little below the passage at the Maschen marshalling yard . Areas of the floodplain of the Seeve are often part of the nature reserve. Otherwise, a strip of water at least five meters wide is included as a buffer to adjacent agricultural areas in the nature reserve. At Handeloh, a short section of the lower reaches of the Weseler Moorbach up to Kreisstraße 27 and a section of the Handeloher Bach with adjoining areas are part of the nature reserve.

description

The nature reserve is characterized by an alternation of open and wooded areas. In the open land areas , the Seeve is often accompanied by trees. Furthermore, moist tall herbaceous vegetation , reed beds and sedges can be found.

The Seeve is characterized as a near-natural flowing water with flooding underwater vegetation. Existing weirs , such as B. at the Holmer mill , are bypassed by fish ladders in order to achieve a patency of the river for migrating fish and other organisms. Especially below Jesteburg, the river has been straightened over long stretches. With natural runoff, it has diverse sediment structures with fine sandy, gravelly and coarse stone areas. The Seeve is the habitat and spawning biotope of various fish and round mouths , including bullhead , grayling , brook , river and sea ​​lamprey . The area is home to various quiver flies , mayflies and stone flies and is also the habitat of various dragonflies .

The open land areas are often managed as grassland with different intensities of use. Extensively used areas are sometimes characterized as species-rich wet and wet meadows. They are living space z. B. for meadow pipit and skylark and other meadow birds . Broad-leaved orchid , spotted orchid and fever clover, for example, settle here . Species-rich nebulas and heather with common heather can also be found in small areas . In places the sea lowlands are moored.

The forests are partly characterized as alder-ash alluvial forests with black alder and ash as well as hornbeam , red beech , bird cherry , common bird cherry , broken willow , white elm and common oak as well as willow-alluvial forests with white willow , broken willow and black poplar .

In places, bog forests are pronounced. The downy birch dominates here . There are also silver birch and rowan berries , and in places also black alder.

Especially at the Talrändern are forest communities as Luzulo beech forest with beech, hornbeam, sessile oak and common oak, beech-oak forests with beech, sessile oak, English oak and hornbeam and undergrowth of holly and oak forests with common oak, sessile oak, silver birch, downy birch and Scots pine and hornbeam and beech pronounced. The forests in the nature reserve are often close to nature with a high proportion of old and dead wood .

In the nature reserve there are still waters with mostly well-developed water and silting vegetation. For example, pondweed and frog-bite communities settle here.

The nature reserve is the habitat of various mammals , birds , reptiles and amphibians . The otter, for example, is native to the nature reserve . The lowland is the habitat and feeding habitat of the white stork .
