The brochure about the nature reserve "Lielupe floodplains" will be published till the April. The aim of it is to educate the visitors about the nature’s values and the special place of nature reserve in the urban landscape. The brochure will be in Latvian with summary in English. The preparation of two information stands is in the process (also Latvian and English). The discussion about possible pasturing of wild horses and cows in the Pilssala is in the process now.
