Visit of water management facilities in Hungary
As part of networking with other organizations, we initiated a visit of technical water management facilities in Hungary in Vámosszabadi and Ásványráró in December.
Networking with LIFE Isar project
Between 5.-7. of December we welcomed a delegation from Germany. Representatives of the LIFE Isar project visited our project area. Together we discussed the management and financing of project activities, conservation problems and possible solutions and visited several of our locations.
We support biodiversity by creating wood pastures.
We have begun restoring a wood pasture in Podunajské Biskupice. Grazing by domestic animals was once a natural part of this area. However, due to the decline of grazing, the land has become largely overgrown with self-seeded trees as well as various invasive plant species. We have therefore decided to curb this overgrowth through grazing by a mixed herd of sheep and goats.
Launching the LIFE 4 STEPPE BIRDS Project!
“LIFE21-NAT-SK-LIFE 4 STEPPE BIRDS: Conservation and Return of Steppe Bird Species to the Lowlands of Slovakia” is the name of our newest LIFE project, which sets ambitious conservation goals and will help reverse the poor protection status of bird species by restoring traditional land management and grazing practices.
We are planting trees for ground squirrel
Today we planted fruit trees at the Ďurkovec sysľovisko near Tomášovský výhľad in Slovak paradise. It was a great and useful event and we thank everyone who participated. All of us are looking forward to the harvest, both for us and for the groundhogs.
