About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

“Kaiserstuhl, a small volcanic mountain in the middle of the “Oberrheingraben”, is a famous wine-growing area near the old university town of Freiburg. Dry land in this area is important, especially for the numerous rare species. Therefore, a large part of the “Kaiserstuhl” is protected as a nature reserve. The protected territory requires regular cultivation - cutting down trees and bushes, which are threatening to override the endangered vegetation.
