nature conservation as a contribution to biodiversity

On the plateau via Güls, an important nature conservation project has been carried out since 2018, which is not only important for the region, but also has a variety of positive effects on the environment. The project focuses on the preservation and promotion of orchards that represent an indispensable part of the local ecosystem

The role of the orchards

orchards are not only picturesque landscapes, but also play a crucial role in biodiversity. They offer habitat for many animal and plant species, including the rare shaggy bees wolf, which occurs on the plateau of Heyerberg-Kimmelberg. This type is an indicator of the condition of the ecosystem and is the focus of the nature conservation project.

Sabine Gehrlein, expert at the Kulturlandschaft Rhineland-Palatinate Foundation, is significantly involved in this project. During a visit to the orchard, she explains the importance of the type of fruit and shows how the well -kept areas can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. The cultivation of fruit trees to extensively managed meadows is a sustainable method to promote a healthy environment.

a resort for the community

The plateau via Güls is not only a place for nature conservation, but also a popular destination for leisure activities. Many people use the natural paths to jog, go for a walk or just relax. The integration of nature conservation -friendly practices into these local recreation areas creates awareness of the importance of the environment and promotes the commitment of the community.

conclusion: the way to sustainable development

The nature conservation project Heyerberg-Kimmelberg shows how important it is to maintain natural resources and at the same time create recreation rooms for the population. The commitment of organizations such as the Rhineland-Palatinate Foundation and the interest of the citizens are crucial for the success of such initiatives. The promotion of orchards not only ensures local biodiversity, but also raised awareness of sustainable development in the region.
