| Key
management issues |
The
site is characterized by 2 bogs (Tessiner and Neuendorfer Moor) aswell
as the meadows of the river Schilde. The key management issues are the
restoration of the bogs, which have been drained deeply over the last
decades and stream restoration. After a period of analysing the sites,
a management plan for each individual site is in progress, featuring issues
as: Restoration of the bogs and river beds, improving of the watercourses,
extensive Agriculture, rebuilding of the drainage systems, planting native
wetland plants, developing nature oriented tourism to ensure the social
and economical embedment of Natura 2000 to this site. |

| Promoting
Natura 2000 at the local level |
We
do a lot of press work for local newspapers aswell as for our own newspaper
"Biosphäre aktuell", where we inform about our activities and events concening
Natura 2000. The biosphere reserve has its own exhibition (also concerning
Natura 2000). 2 employes (part-time) are financed by the DBU in order
to organize the whole process for the next 2 years. |
| Involving
local stakeholders in the management planning process - creating a local
area partnership |
We
work with and depend on the local farmers and their agreement to most
of the management issues. The farmers are strongly involved in the project.
We also work together with the communities, which partly finance some
of the management issues. |
| Involved
in European networking / Twinned with other site for knowledge exchange |
We
are not formally twinned with another site, but many international contacts
exist. The biosphere reserve has contacts especially to Scandinavia and
Turkey. We also work closely together with Europarc and have contacts
to other Biosphere Reserves and National Parks in Germany. |
| Branding
Natura 2000 |
We
do carry the Natura 2000 logo for example on posters in the offices of
the Biosphere Reserve. It is also used on the website and on flyers, aswell
as explained in the exhibition. |
