Four nature reserves (Totenberg im Bramwald, Ossenberg - Fehrenbusch, Großer Lleinebusch and Hühnerfeld) are protecting the biotope of many sensitive species of animals and plants in nature park. In this area animals and plants take precedence over visitors and request respect.
According to "Flora - Fauna - Habitat - Richtlinie (FFH)" the land lower saxony defined ten areas as nature reserves which are forming important stepping stones in the european net NATURA 2000.

Because of this, the extreme sensitive and shy black stork can find living spaces for breeding in nature park. The attentive and silent visitor can watch rare species of birds like kingfisher, dipper or yellow wagtail in nature park as well.
