The main objectives of the activities is the contribution of the conservation of the National Park. Like all old, open cultural landscapes, the heathland requires targeted maintenance in order to continue to exist and provide a habitat for the typical species. This requires the targeted removal of overgrowth. As only certain plant species are removed, this is usually done by hand. This also protects the habitat, which is not accessible to machines.
Activities in the nearby nature reserves The Meinweg, e.g.
Nursing work, environmental protection and conservation in the Meinweg - revolving on the Ritzroder Dune or in the heathoors.
Nursing work in various wetland biotopes (waters in MG-Hardt and at the Nordpark)
Biotope maintenance measures in NSG Baggersee Vorster Busch
Activities at the nature protection station, e.g.:
Animal supply (2 times a day: feeding, giving water, checking whether everything is fine with the animals)
Maintenance work (pasture fences, bite protection of the trees, animal shelters, etc.)
Fruit harvest - depending on the yield and ripening period
