The Lower Rhine is rich in meadow landscapes. The pollarded willows were usually planted in rows along ditches, streams and to mark property lines. They shape the characteristic landscape of the Lower Rhine.

Stepping stone biotope: Ecological significance of pollarded willow:

A special feature of the pollarded willow are its numerous cavities, niches and deadwood areas. It offers a home to many animal species. Birds use the branch cavities as breeding grounds. Beetles and larvae live in the rotten wood and flowers serve as food for bees and butterflies.
