Klelund Plantage

Klelund Plantage is a Danish estate and former heath plantation with a history stretching back several hundred years. Under previous owners it operated as a production forest, supplying products such as Christmas trees and decorative greenery. The current ownership began in 2005, and in 2010 the estate established Klelund Dyrehave as Denmark's first biodiversity deer park. The property today covers just over 3,500 hectares, of which Klelund Dyrehave accounts for 1,415 hectares. The project is driven by a vision of returning a former plantation property to nature and creating an oasis for biological diversity. The goal is a natural, intact and original ecosystem that can be left to itself and develop into wild Danish nature. In a biodiversity deer park, the continuous grazing pressure and behaviour-related wear of the wildlife help create a partly light-open nature type with variation and many different habitats for life large and small. This leads to increased biodiversity. Klelund Dyrehave is home to red deer and roe deer, both of the local stock, as well as wild boar since 2016 from a stock brought from Tofte Skov. While many other animals live in the deer park, these three species are the ones for which the deer park fence forms a barrier. The work at Klelund Dyrehave aims to allow nature to return to a more natural, balanced and original ecosystem with rich animal and plant life, where a minimum of management measures are needed in the long term. This begins with an intensive management effort.
