With the info cube you get a good overview and interesting information about the fauna and flora of the juniper heath and the use of heath and juniper.

The area of today's Holtwicker Juniper Heath was originally created by agricultural forest areas. Almost every peasantry in Westphalia was in possession of such a mark. They had the right to use these brands as grazing areas for their livestock, for timber and for cutting pests. Over time, the forest increasingly disappeared due to overexploitation and a lack of reforestation. Only heather and juniper bushes grew on the depleted and acidified soil.
