The Weidmoos also gained in significance for many other bird species, thanks to the LIFE project. For example, many types of duck now breed at the Weidmoos. Species such as the Little Grebe and the Water Rail are now typical of the Weidmoos. Even rare reed-dwellers, such as the Great Reed Warbler found a new habitat at the Weidmoos. The essential basis of this success story is the close collaboration and trust shown by the Nature Protection Department, the Association Torferneuerungsverein, the local councils, landowners, farmers and hunters.
