    When the local juniper heath was placed under nature protection in 1940, it was initially left to its own devices. After two decades, the ground vegetation was heavily matted, so that the juniper bushes could no longer multiply. In addition, emerging trees took the light off the juniper.

      Juniper is an evergreen conifer. It grows very slowly and needs a lot of light. Fast growing trees easily displace juniper.
      Sheep and goats are therefore friends of the juniper. They eat the leafy competitors and leave the sharp juniper needles alone.
