Species protection also plays an important role in the district.

Birds, amphibians, insects, flowers, grasses, trees: the district is home to countless animal and plant species.
District - Many of them are at risk and need to be protected - often by volunteers.
The International Day for the Protection of Species on March 3rd wants to draw attention to this.
In many places we are already on the right track.
When nature is in danger, people sometimes have to take a step back.
Some drivers will soon notice this again.
Because the amphibians have begun their migration to the spawning areas, some roads in the district are closed so that the animals do not get lost.
But species protection often comes without restrictions.
Because volunteers build protective fences and collect toads, newts or frogs and then carry them across the road, many animals can be saved.
The district group of the Federal Nature Conservation Association is heavily involved in this area.
More than 100 volunteers are helping to save the amphibians, reports the chairwoman of the district group, Eugenie Scherb.
“Volunteers play a crucial role in species protection,” explains Scherb.
Without them, many projects would not be possible.
Beaver protection
The BN operates numerous of these in the district.
This ranges from protecting beavers to preserving habitats for insects, maintaining meadows, protecting crows and purchasing land for species protection projects.
One of the largest of these is the creation of a biotope network from the Fußbergmoos in the Fürstenfeldbruck district to Erding.
The remains of former moors should be preserved.
The project will continue for decades, says Eugenie Scherb.
“When it comes to species conservation, you have to think in very long terms – and be patient.”
Of course, the BN could not manage such a project alone.
That's why he works with various actors - including the Lower Nature Conservation Authority in the district office.
Numerous species protection projects are also underway there, reports Marc Runft, biodiversity consultant at the authority.
Almost 200 natural monuments are looked after and cared for - mainly old individual trees and avenues.
The authority also mapped the nesting trees of rare red and black kites and contacted the property owners.
Lapwing protection and lean grass mowing
A project to protect lapwing breeding pairs has also been running in the district since 2017.
“Since the lapwing now prefers to breed on arable land, farmers are contacted and voluntary clutch protection measures are agreed if there are nests on their land,” explains Marc Runft.

Near Türkenfeld, the authorities have created a species-rich lean grassland in the state forest.
This needs to be looked after for the first time this year.
A cooperation with a school class is planned.
So-called reading stone piles should also be created, especially for reptiles.
Because lean hay meadows are considered to be particularly rich in species, their area should be expanded.
You resort to a trick.
The mown plants are collected and replanted on other suitable areas.
“In addition to the seeds of meadow plants, insects and their eggs or larvae are also transmitted in this way,” explains Marc Runft.
