PROJEKT: Developing best practices in butterfly conservation in Central and Eastern Europe

Last week, together with the Záhorie Protected Landscape Area Administration, we organized a team-building event for employees of Kaufland Slovakia. We took them to the Kyseľová Nature Monument in Kopanice. This site is part of the project because it is home to rare butterflies such as the Clouded Apollo, the Sloe Hairstreak, and the Large Copper.

Almost 40 volunteers enthusiastically started raking the meadow, which is full of orchids and many other flowering herbs in spring. Additionally, we also expanded it a bit by clearing an area that was occupied by non-native black pine saplings.

Thank you to everyone for participating and helping!
