Site summary
Hills in the Jura mountains dominated by deciduous woodland and a diverse mosaic of meadows and orchards.
The site is important for species breeding in lowland forests, such as Grey-headed Woodpecker, Middle Spotted Woodpecker and Common Redstart.
The main threats are from the proximity of urban areas which results in habitat destruction within the IBA from building and disturbance from recreation. Species conservation programmes have started for Little Owl and Woodchat Shrike.
