Description
The area was part of an EU LIFE project where non-indigenous spruce plantations have been removed and the meandering course of streams restored until 2014. Since then, the clearcut areas have been developed under natural succession and represent an interesting mosaic of semi-open dry and swampy habitats. The surrounding forest was partially damaged by 2007 windstorm "Kyrill" and thus also contains clearings and semi-open windthrow areas.
Seven species of woodpeckers can be seen and heard along the trail (Kara ağaçkakan, Küçük yeşil ağaçkakan, Yeşil Ağaçkakan, Orman alaca ağaçkakanı, Ortanca Ağaçkakan, Küçük ağaçkakan and Boyunçeviren). Other interesting forest birds include Çulluk, Kara sinekkapan, Orman çıvgını, Sürmeli Çalıkuşu, dağ baştankarası, Çam baştankarası, Tepeli baştankara, Çaprazgaga, Ökse ardıcı and serçe baykuşu. The semi-open patches provide habitat for Ağaç incirkuşu, Kızılsırtlı örümcekkuşu, Üveyik, Çekirge Kamışçını, Söğütbülbülü, Taşkuşu and Sarı kirazkuşu. Kuzgun and Kara leylek are visitors. Along the river, Yalıçapkını, Derekuşu and Dağ kuyruksallayanı can be encountered.
