    Tips

    November 7, 2018

    The designation as Flora, Fauna, Habitat (FFH) and Natura 2000 area meanwhile also the state government influences the Schaumburg forest. Due to the FFH status, the foresters are obliged to preserve the oak population. For example, the competent forestry office Spießingshol maintains various test sections, in which young oaks are protected differently (Fitzner-OAK) or more are left to nature (fenced area next to the Feltner oak). Currently, the growth shoots of overgrowing hornbeams are manually bent. This creates a hornbeam barrier against the bite of the oaks and the oak trees receive enough light to unfold. Whether all these efforts lead to success, will be seen in the oak industry only in later generations, so in about 200 years.
