[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The S\u00fa\u013eov hills are famous not only because of picturesque sceneries of rock gates and towers, but also because of a wealth of rare flora and fauna. Among other things, they were known among botanists in the past as a famous botanical site. Unfortunately, that is not entirely true today. Orchid habitats, nutrient-poor pastures on shallow, drying soils, were largely abandoned and overgrown with trees. Thus, we started restoring part of these habitats at the end of winter in 2023, following an agreement with the Str\u00e1\u017eovsk\u00e9 vrchy Protected Area Administration and the local landowner\u2019s community.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe valley of Black brook is an important locality with the occurrence of many rare species of orchids. There was only a small fragment of threatened grass biotopes left here which we restored to an area of about 0.3 hectares and which will be maintained by mowing.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
