Reeds can be seen on numerous banks and in meadows in our country. It is widespread throughout the world and its population is stable. Therefore it is not protected. But one of his namesakes sometimes does!
Is reed subject to nature conservation?
Reed and miscanthus are not protected and can therefore be cut and used. Cattails, on the other hand, may be protected in some areas but may be trimmed or removed on private property.
Not all reeds are the same
Reeds basically refer to three different types of plants:
- Reed
- miscanthus
- Bulbs
Neither miscanthus nor reed are protected. They can be cut and dug up in public meadows or on lake or river banks. The beautiful fronds look good as dry arrangements or in bouquets. Bulrushes, on the other hand, can be protected in some areas.
What does it mean when a plant is protected?
If a plant is protected, this means above all that it may not be picked, trimmed or otherwise modified in the wild. However, if the plant grows on your private property, you can do whatever you want with it. So if cattails grow in your garden, you can safely prune them, use their pretty cobs for arrangements or even tear out the entire plant.
