PROJEKT: Developing best practices in butterfly conservation in Central and Eastern Europe

For the successful achievement of the set goal after the clearing of shrubs and woody vegetation, it is important to set the following management correctly. Extensive grazing is the appropriate form of management. As each species and breed of livestock grazes in a different way and prefers different plants as food, as well as a different terrain, not only the abundance but also the appropriate species composition of the herd is important. In Beckovské skalice we have started grazing goats and sheep on rocky and less accessible sites in cooperation with Salaš Beckov. Beckov Farm, on the other hand, grazes cows on flat ground. This will create different grazing areas with different plants, which in turn are preferred by different insects.
