Nov Nature reserve, Nature reserve in Golan Heights, Israel
Nov Nature Reserve is a patchwork of wetlands, meadows, and open grassland in the Golan Heights. The varied habitats support rare plant species and offer migratory birds essential breeding grounds during their seasonal journeys.
The reserve was established in 2007, marking a turning point in protecting these delicate ecosystems. Its creation resulted from growing awareness about the need to preserve the region's biodiversity for future generations.
The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about the regional ecosystems and the importance of environmental conservation in Israeli society.
Walking trails crisscross the terrain and lead to viewing points where visitors can observe birds and seasonal flowers. Spring is the best time to visit, when wildflowers bloom and birdwatching opportunities are at their peak.
The reserve protects iris species adapted to wetland conditions that are scarce elsewhere. During bloom season the landscape fills with purple and white flowers that make this location distinctive for plant enthusiasts.
