Nenzing natural biotopes - landscape development parts IIIa+b

Brief description

The purpose of the Bergheimat project is to provide a general overview of landscape spaces of special natural value. The survey serves as a basis for further measures for the development of these landscape spaces. Each of the listed landscape spaces is analysed on the basis of existing documentation, with a special focus on biotopes and other remarkable landscape elements. Information on the subject of landscape change is also included in the work. The objective is for the local authority to implement concrete measures in the biotopes together with the landowners.
Last year the Zalum Debushing subproject was carried out with the help of six associations and forty individuals under the leadership of the Nenzing Market Town Environment Committee. Woody plants were removed from the litter meadows so as to permit mowing.
