Wooded meadows
Wooded meadows by Roman Bruehwiler
The Wooded meadows comprise an ecosystem of natural wooded areas with a regularly mown or grazed herb layer. They provided hay, wood, berries, mushrooms and hazelnuts, and had also a strong impact on the formation of Estonian ancient religious beliefs and rituals. Due to the increase in population density, these meadows are more and more limited in size. The proposal includes eight representative sites: the meadows of Laelatu, Kalli-Nedrema, Mäepea, Allika, Tagamoisa, Loode, Koiva, and Halliste.
