Rescue of the orchards: 720 hectares for biodiversity in the nature park!

Mattersburg, Österreich - The location of the orchards in the Rosalia-Kogelberg nature park is alarming. Where in 1938 260,000 orchard trees were found in the region, there are only around 60,000 today. This worrying scenario is taken up by the project "Complete and Experience and Experience" project, which is carried out in collaboration with the Holler engineering office. The aim of the project is the comprehensive survey and evaluation of the orchards in 12 nature park communities and adjacent places in the Mattersburg district. A total of a proud 720 hectares of orchard, such as meinzirk.at reported.

The density of the orchards in the so -called "orchard", which includes communities such as Loipersbach, Rohrbach, Marz, Mattersburg and Forchtenstein. Orchards not only play a crucial role in fruit production, but are also an important habitat for numerous plant and animal species. The need for replanting, proper care and a respectful handling of these valuable trees is essential to ensure their preservation.

a nature park with future

In 2025, the Rosalia-Kogelberg nature park was named the nature park of the year. This award illustrates the extraordinary biodiversity and the special habitats that this park offers. From dry lawns to orchards to natural forests- the park is home to many endangered plant and animal species. The focus is on the sustainable protection of sensitive habitats as well as on offers that should sensitize visitors to experience nature carefully.

The measures to preserve the orchards are diverse. These include gentle tourism, targeted care and the preservation of traditional cultural landscapes. Educational offers and natural projects raise awareness of biological diversity. The goal is to make nature tangible without burdening it. This is secured by the support of certified tree keepers who take on professional care and tree cuts.
