Every year the “Chantiers nature – fit by nature” project gives the opportunity to get to know the natural reserves managed by natur&ëmwelt and to take actively part in nature protection. Further these activities give you the chance to experience a lovely day in nature and meet like-mindet people. In the context of the Life Orchis project, several activities will be organised:

7.10.2017: Calcareous grasslands on the luxembourgish Moselle “Scheierbierg”

09.12.2017: Maintenance Work in the former gypsum pit in Bous “Hiewelbierg” ►

In the context of the “chantiers nature – Fit by nature”, Life Orchis is organiser of the action harvesting seeds of typical dry grasslands species. The seed of the typical species is needed to give start-up aid to freshly cleared areas and bring back these characteristic species.

The meeting place is the parking “monument pour les victimes de la route” from Junglinster in direction Eschweiler. Those who are interested to participate are requested to contact Georges Moes: 26 66 55 37 / g.moes@naturemwelt.lu ►
