The Senne Because the Senne has long been used as a military training area, its vast ecosystem has remained undisturbed by human development. The Senne is the most valuable land of this stature in North Rhine-Westphalia due to its: • poor nutrient availability and particularly high species diversity • high abundance of regionally endangered animal and plant species • largest uninhabited and unfragmented landscape of NRW • extensive space where nature may take its course • large areas of regionally rare Westphalian heathland • highly interlaced and diverse mosaic of habitats
The future of the Senne as a National Park is the best way to protect this precious treasure.
Senne. Home. National Park. Experience nature We must get access to nature: In old heathland and new wilderness. In a National Park.
Preserve home, maintain creation It is our obligation, to conserve our natural and cultural heritage, the Senne, for us, our children and our grandchildren. In a National Park.
The Senne belongs to us Locked out for over a hundred years, we want to enter and enjoy our home as a National Park.
Protection for man and nature! Only a national park allows to preserve the old Westphalian natural, cultural and heath-landscapes, the protection of a unique species diversity within NRW (about a thousand “Red List” species), and to protect us from the legacy of over one hundred years of military history.
