Cranberries are overgrowing native plants, such as sundews and cranberries. For this reason, a pilot project was launched in Hörnum in 2015 by the district of North Frisia, granting the Wadden Sea Conservation Station permission to remove the cranberries from the area. The aim of this conservation effort is to remove the plants, including their root systems, from the dunes. If successful, native plants will sprout from the seeds in the soil the following spring.
