The reserve's name comes from the protected snowdrop plant (Galanthus nivalis) on its territory. The reserve, established in 1980, covers an area of 25.27 ha in the Repki forest district. The entire area is covered with trees aged from 4 to 130 years. It is a mixed, multi-species stand, very diverse in terms of structure and age of species occurring in it, although older stands, over 60 years old, predominate. The method of management of the stands included in it results from the basic conservation goal, which is to preserve the snowdrop site, one of the few sites of this plant in northern Poland. Other protected plants also occur on the reserve. These are: Daphne mezereum, white butterfly-orchid, Martagon lily, common foxglove, common gingerbread, and primrose. The reserve area is inhabited by numerous nesting birds: red-backed shrike, yellowhammer, song thrush, blackbird, tit and woodpecker. In addition, periodic occurrences of hoopoe, hawks and buzzards have been recorded.
