6210 Semi-natural dry grasslands and scrubland facies on calcareous substrates (Festuco-Brometalia) (* important orchid sites)

Location
dolnośląskie Voivodship, Borough of Kamienna Góra, complex of meadows and grasslands W from Raszów
Threatened populations
Houseleek Jovibarba sobolifera, Elder-flowered Orchid Dactylorhiza sambucina, Yellow Woundwort Stachys recta
Damage extent
ca. 3,5 ha, ca. 0,1-0,5% of the regional (Voivodship) populations
Investor
Presumably private owner or tenant
Details of the case
Burnt dry grassland patch unique in the area with very valuable and characteristic for this habitat plants, has been observed. Some areas with torn out (pull out) turf suggest that additional agricultural treatment was carried out (for instance harrowing).  
Probable reason for burning was to remove bush growth from the pasture.
