Løvklit is a part of Kærgård Klitplantage, owned by the Danish State. In 1955 St. Løvklit was declared an area of outstanding beauty. The conservation was aimed to secure and preserve the rest of the earlier oak forests that were situated along the West coast of Jutland. Through excavations, it has been discovered that the limited oak vegetation in reality are the outermost branches of an oak forest, covered of a many meters thick layer of sand that has settled so slowly, that the oaks were able to grow while the sand settled.
