The Hohenhorster Berge are located right next to our industrial estate – a valuable nature reserve that many of our employees use for walks during their breaks.
\nHowever, in recent years, many trails have been created here, which severely damage the sensitive ecosystem. Pedestrians, horse riders, mountain bikers and dog owners in particular are constantly creating new paths that dissect nature. <\/p>\n
To support the protection of the area, our trainees joined forces with NABU and the Borken district to carry out a tree planting campaign. The aim was to strengthen the official paths and raise awareness of nature conservation. <\/p>\n
Trees as natural barriers<\/strong><\/p>\n As part of the campaign, young trees were planted behind the new “No path” signs. These are intended to visually reinforce the prohibition of passage and prevent new footpaths from continuing to develop. Unfortunately, many signs have been removed or ignored in the past – the trees now offer a natural alternative to protect the area. <\/p>\n Why is this action important?<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hohenhorst Hills are home to rare sand dune fields, dry sandy grasslands and deciduous forest communities that urgently need to be preserved. These unique habitats can be protected by means of targeted routing without losing the natural experience for visitors. <\/p>\n Our trainees not only lent a hand, but also gained valuable knowledge about flora, fauna and ecological relationships during a guided tour of the nature reserve.<\/p>\n A strong signal for environmental protection<\/strong><\/p>\n We would like to thank everyone involved for their great commitment and are delighted to be making an important contribution to the preservation of the Hohenhorst mountains with this initiative!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Hohenhorster Berge are located right next to our industrial estate – a valuable nature reserve that many of our employees use for walks during their breaks.
