This site is one of the best preserved lowland bog and wet meadows sites in Belarus.

The site holds 35 nationally important species and 4 regionally threatened species. The bog habitat is in particularly good condition because of the preserved natural hydrology.

There are several long running botanical research projects from the Institute of Experimental Botany Minsk.

The large area of bog land is largely protected and used for research now, although there was peat cutting in the past. The wet meadows have some limited grazing and there is small scale fishing on the lakes and rivers.

This site is particularly well known for its dragonfly populations and there are also 15 nationally or regionally important bird species at the site

The site has a high level of legal protection at the national level but it is not recognised internationally.

The main threats to the plants & habitats at the site are changes to the water management system & the potential peat extraction over the whole southern area.
