Mission on Alp Nursera for Moor and Goat!
The two-day mission takes place in the Göriwald-Andeer special forest reserve. Due to a bog restoration, some alpine pastures have become waterlogged and are no longer usable for agriculture. Therefore, volunteers are clearing other areas to create replacement grazing land for the goats. Additionally, the mission takes place in the Andeer-Göriwald special forest reserve, which has been designated for grouse.
Thus, the volunteers are not only helping with the revitalization of a high moor and supporting mountain agriculture, but they are also creating clearings and promoting the habitat of capercaillie and black grouse. The work is carried out in a beautiful mountain landscape with a high moor of national importance, plenty of fresh air, and hopefully lots of sunshine.
