Volunteering opportunity in the Gippinger Grien

Leuggern

19.05.2025

16 places are still free 12 days remaining until

The Gippinger Grien is a floodplain of national importance, where rare species such as the Siberian iris and the marsh spurge grow in the reed meadows. In addition to rare plants, neophytes also grow here – including imported plant species such as New York aster. These can spread rapidly and cause native, non-competitive species to disappear. To combat neophytes effectively, they must be removed together with the root before they can seed. You will be rewarded with an afternoon snack and a 30-minute guided tour of the BirdLife nature center at the Klingnauer reservoir. Thank you in advance for your support!

Nature conservation in Neeracherried

13 places are still free 29 days remaining until

The Neeracherried is a natural habitat for countless animals and plants – it contains populations of national importance and has more than 450 documented plant species. But these native populations are being increasingly threatened by invasive plants that have been introduced to the region. Unless we take measures to protect them, newcomers like golden rod could completely overwhelm weaker native species like orchids. It is not enough to regularly mow the reed meadows. The only way to preserve biodiversity effectively is by pulling out invasive plants by their roots.

Parc Ela neophytes day

11 places are still free 40 days remaining until

Neophytes are plant species that were only introduced to a region after the discovery of America in 1492. Some of these are invasive species that can spread rapidly, displace native vegetation and endanger our health. Combatting invasive neophytes in protected landscapes is crucial for the preservation of biodiversity and the ecological balance. In Parc Ela, the largest nature park in Switzerland, the spread of invasive species is limited to the valley floor, where further spread has been prevented thanks to rigorous control in recent years. Together, we will support local stakeholders and help combat invasive species along the two rivers Landwasser and Albula very close to the Landwasser Viaduct.

Volunteering opportunity in the Weerd-Fischergrien

Kleindöttingen - Böttstein (AG)

17.06.2025

8 places are still free 41 days remaining until

The Weerd-Fischergrien is a floodplain of national importance characterized by open areas with ponds. In addition to rare plants, invasive neophytes also grow here, including imported plant species such as the one-year fleabane. Some of these species can spread rapidly and cause native, non-competitive species to disappear. To combat this problem effectively, they must be removed together with the root before they can seed. You will be rewarded with a snack and a 30-minute guided tour of the BirdLife nature center at the Klingnauer reservoir. Thank you in advance for your support!
