Description
The Hemche-Tal / Geitsiepen Nature Reserve in Meinerzhagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, protects a characteristic stream valley with a near-natural stream and valuable, extensively used wet and damp grasslands. Its primary goals include the preservation, optimization, and restoration of these habitats. They are essential for numerous endangered plant and animal communities and contribute significantly to regional biodiversity. The valley's special importance lies in its contribution to ecological connectivity and the protection of rare species dependent on these specific wetland biotopes. The area borders the Schoppenwasser-Tal Nature Reserve to the south, forming a larger protected zone.
