Description
Lilla Vickleby lund nature reserve consists of two groves of hazel-rich oak forest. There is a rich plant and animal life with several unusual plants, fungi and insects. In the reserve, a research project is underway to study biodiversity in overgrown meadows and pastures.
The past...
What is now a nature reserve was once farmland for the village of Lilla Vickleby. In the 18th century, farmers walked with scythes and harvested hay from the lush fields. During the late 18th and 19th centuries the area was grazed.
...and the present
Since grazing ceased, the land has grown back into more or less enclosed groves. Broad-crowned oaks that grew up when the area was more open are now surrounded by trees and shrubs. The southern part has been prepared for grazing again.
Valuable insect fauna
Several unusual butterflies and beetles have been observed in the reserve. Among the butterflies, the rust-colored leaf spinner and the liverwort meadow fly can be mentioned. Rare beetles include the ornamental beetle, which is associated with hazel, and the oak borer, which lives on oak.
Interesting lichens and fungi
Many different lichens grow on the old deciduous trees in the groves. One example is the pink lichen. It is characterized by approximately 1.5 mm wide, sharp fruiting bodies on a gray-green abdomen. A variety of fungi also thrive in the groves. The knotty root truffle and the very rare grove smoke fungus are two examples.
