Ecological importance of green spaces
Maintaining public green spaces is not just a visual matter. These areas provide habitat for plants and animals and contribute significantly to the ecological health of communities. They act as dust and exhaust filters and improve the local climate, which is extremely important for the well-being of the population. According to the State Office for the Environment It is crucial that these areas are maintained sustainably.
The understanding and appreciation for public green spaces could be further promoted through training courses and practical days for municipal employees. In this way, the population's awareness of the importance of green spaces is increased. “A good hand” in caring for public facilities can help promote biodiversity and minimize the negative impact of neophytes.
The result of the competition is a nice incentive for all communities that want to take part in the competition. In the future, the maintenance and design of public spaces in Bruck and beyond will continue to focus on ecological concerns and contribute to increasing the quality of life in the communities.
