Many juniper bushes grow on this heath, some of which are several meters tall. The area is known as the largest juniper heath in the Lower Rhine region. This makes it a rare and valuable nature reserve, as this type of heath is scarce nowadays. The juniper heath originated from human use of the landscape in the past. Grazing by sheep and land use created an open heath landscape in which juniper bushes could grow. Nowadays, this landscape is actively maintained, including through grazing by heath sheep, to prevent it from turning into forest. The area is also important for animals. Various bird species, such as the nightjar and the woodlark, live on the heath. In addition, many insects, reptiles, and amphibians are found here. Due to the combination of wet and dry areas, the biodiversity here is very high.
