Nigula Nature Reserve

One of the oldest and best researched bog and forest ecosystem protection areas is known as a bog reference site all across Europe.
The Nature Reserve was established in 1957. Since 1979 it is a bird area of international importance. Since 1997 the Nature Reserve belongs to the Ramsar sites – wetlands of international importance and since 2004 to Natura 2000 bird and habitat sites. Since 2007 it belongs to the North-Livonian wetland complex, the first cross-border wetland complex of international importance in Northern Europe.

The Centre for State Forest Management in Estonia has been involved in visitor management in the Nigula Nature Reserve since February 2009.
