Landscape Conservation Association (LPV) Weilheim-Schongau is a successful model. 128 nature conservation projects have been implemented in the region.
The LPV is the sponsor and manager of landscape management measures. It supports municipalities in designating compensation areas (keyword: eco-account). It acquires subsidies and commissions farmers to implement measures. The maxim: “It’s all voluntary. We don’t want any constraints. It should be a collaboration,” explained LPV managing director Christian Haupt in his annual report. All news and stories can also be found on the Schongauer Nachrichten Facebook page and in our regular Schongau newsletter. Forage plants that are important for rare butterflies, such as horseshoe or anthyllis, have come under pressure because the area has been left fallow for a long time. The goal: The meadow should become richer in species and once again be a habitat for the insect species.
