    Information for Kassel: Landschaftspflege

    Promotion of measures and projects to protect the environment, nature and climate, water bodies and the diversity of flora and fauna

    Description

    The aim of landscape conservation is to preserve and develop the landscape with its diversity and character, its habitats and its habitats for animal and plant species.

    The range of tasks includes, in particular, measures to safeguard, maintain, restore and create near-natural habitats and habitats for native animal and plant species. In Hesse, landscape conservation measures are preferably carried out in NATURA 2000 areas (protected areas under the Habitats and Birds Directives of the European Union).

    The state promotes landscape conservation through appropriately designed programs. The various measures are preferably implemented by the respective landowners and land users, generally farmers and forest owners.

    Landscape conservation and agri-environmental measures are implemented on the basis of regional agri-environmental concepts with corresponding support areas. Medium-term action plans are drawn up for the Natura 2000 areas on behalf of the Kassel Regional Council. The measures provided for in these plans are given priority for funding. One of the aims of regional landscape conservation is the preservation and safeguarding of valuable orchards and orchards, for which the Streuobstinitiative im Landkreis Kassel e.V. (SILKA) provides valuable support.

    Furthermore, regional landscape conservation is committed to the promotion of insects and pollinating wild animal species both in the open countryside and in residential areas. To this end, it initiates projects in schools, local authorities and other public institutions and encourages citizens to make their gardens and balconies more insect-friendly in the district of Kassel.
