Biotopi

Pārmitrie platlapju meži, t.sk. Vēršupītes dumbrāji ir viens no sugu skaita ziņā daudzveidīgākajiem Latvijas biotopiem. Par to sezonālu applūšanu liecina daudzo melnalkšņu resnie sakņu kakli, kas nevilšus atgādina mangrovju audzes. Pie Ķemeru Meža mājas to apskates nolūkos ir izveidota uz pāļiem celtā Dumbrāju taka ( WC). Visiespaidīgākie skati Vēršupītes dumbrājos ir vērojami pavasara palos vai citos gadalaikos pēc lielām lietavām, kad mazā upīte iziet no krastiem un appludina teritoriju lielākā platībā. Otra vieta, kur var iepazīt Vēršupītes dumbrājus, ir Slokas ezera pastaigu taka. Lokveida takas garums ir 3 km, un tās sākums atrodas pie Slokas ezera putnu vērošanas torņa.

This is a mostly forested territory which is home to one of the largest areas of the white mistletoe, which is a semi-parasitic plant. It is best to observe this unique plant when it has no leaves. Latvia is the northern limit to the white mistletoe, which is why it is not all that common. It is interesting that even more of this rare specie can be seen outside of the nature restricted area.

This swampy territory used to be part of a Littorena Sea lagoon, and it is a place where many rare and protected birds such as woodpeckers live and nest. Territory is hard to reach although some of the territory can be surveyed from the Tukums-Kolka road. Wet meadows is called "lankas" in Kurzeme region.
