Advantages of species-rich meadows for the environment and community

species protection and the promotion of biological diversity are increasingly becoming the focus of society. Especially in rural regions such as the district of Ahrweiler, municipalities and local initiatives benefit from programs that aim at the creation of species -rich meadows. These areas are not only significant for the microclimate, but also offer domestic insects and other animal species.

Funding opportunities for clubs and municipalities

A new flyer from the Ahrweiler district, who in the project "Special Wiese - Habitat for Bee, Butterfly & Co." Published, informed about the numerous funding opportunities that are available for clubs and municipalities. These can apply for up to 1000 euros for the purchase of multi -year regiosaatgut and for planting trees in orchards. The program also supports the purchase of equipment for beekeeping associations, which plays an important role for local agriculture.

There are also extensive grants for farmers and winemakers, but it is important to submit an application in good time. There is no possibility of retroactive funding, which is a not inconsiderable aspect for many. Unfortunately, private individuals are not entitled to these financial aid.

Long-term perspectives for biodiversity

The project was launched in 2018 and pursues the goal of increasing biodiversity and maintaining old orchards. With professional care, these trees can live up to 100 years and contribute to the long -term stability of the ecosystems. Workshops for maintaining orchards offer participants valuable knowledge and skills to sustainably manage these ecologically valuable areas. The next workshop will take place in December.

Resources for interested parties

Interested parties can download the new flyer on the district's website or pick up in the administrations of the municipalities. The “Funding programs/agriculture” department of the Ahrweiler district administration answers questions about the funding opportunities. Here the specialists Björn Dobias and Andreas Ackermann are available for questions.

at a time when climate change and the loss of biodiversity are becoming increasingly pressing, initiatives like this are an important step in the right direction to promote sustainable development of the region and to raise awareness of the importance of species -rich living spaces.
