The Warendorfer Davert is a valuable forest area south of Münster and part of the larger Davert landscape. It is characterized by its diverse flora and fauna and comprises the largest contiguous forest area in the region. The Davert is home to old oak, hornbeam and European white elm stands that provide a habitat for numerous endangered species, including over 100 breeding pairs of the middle spotted woodpecker. The forest has been partially protected thanks to donations and public funds in order to develop into a near-natural “primeval forest of tomorrow”.
