The Grīņu Nature Reserve was established to preserve very rare forest types and the grass sward, which is crucial for supporting certain species. Wet meadows serve as an extremely rare habitat with open landscapes, important feeding grounds for pollinators. Currently, these open areas within the reserve exist only in small fragments, necessitating intervention to clear tree and shrub overgrowth from artificial pine plantations planted in the early 20th century, while preserving larger, older trees significant to the landscape.

The grass sward, classified as severely endangered in the latest Latvian Red Book, has few known extant populations in the country, each covering less than one hectare. The Grīņu Nature Reserve is dedicated to the protection of this species, and it is therefore essential to restore wet meadows to ensure the long-term viability of the grass sward. The conservation efforts will involve not only the removal of tree stumps but also the creation of open mineral soil areas through techniques such as removing undergrowth and the topsoil.

Implementing these restoration measures aligns with broader ecological goals by promoting biodiversity and preserving unique habitats in Latvia. The actions taken at Grīņu Reserve could also serve as a model for similar conservation initiatives across the region, highlighting the importance of protecting endangered species and their ecosystems that are critical to maintaining ecological balance and resilience in the face of environmental change.
