Description

A nature
reserve for arable weeds? Of course!

Dalby
Västermark is just an arable field, but not just any arable field. Little
fertiliser has been added and chemical pesticides have probably never been
used. This has allowed old arable weeds, which are now rare in Sweden, to
survive in the area. Plants such as night-flowering catchfly, scarlet
pimpernel, sharp-leaved fluellen, and dwarf spurge are usually only rarely
found, but in Dalby Västermark they live in healthy populations, thanks to the
fact that arable farming continues as it has done for hundreds of years.

The Reserve
also has a pond which has been created, and which is valuable for birds and
other wildlife.
