Abstract
The countryside in the County of South Jutland is, as in most of Denmark, much influenced by man’s activities, mainly farming. The “traditional” scenic pastoral landscape is much reduced in area, and the degree of “naturalness” of the remaining areas is far from a natural state. As a consequence, the county’s focus for nature conservation is set on maintaining and increasing habitat diversity. The article presents a few of the grazing projects run in the County of South Jutland, and the strategies on which they are based.
