Client: Nature and GEOpark Eisenwurzen
In the Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature and geopark 55 alpine pastures with a total area of 2860 hectares are currently being managed. The two-year EU-funded project “Alpine Pastures & Forest – Cultural Landscapes of the Styrian Eisenwurzen” aims to help preserve the alpine pastures in their species and habitat diversity and to restore ecologically valuable alpine pasture habitats.
Suske Consulting is in charge of the entire implementation of this project. Two alpine pastures will be established as model alpine pastures. Alpine pasture care and restoration measures will be made visible to everyone on these pastures and they will serve as a model for other alpine pasture managers with regard to ecologically meaningful management. In addition, 8 other alpine pastures will be mapped using short inspections. On the basis of the data collected, goals and measures will be developed together with the managers to preserve or restore alpine pastures. Events will be held on the model alpine pastures to further network the alpine pasture managers. Accompanying activities will be carried out to raise awareness among alpine pasture visitors.
