Neophytes are non-native plant species that can spread aggressively and displace native species. To protect biodiversity at the Seefeld Plateau, the Plateau municipalities, in cooperation with the KEM Seefeld Plateau and the TVB Seefeld, are launching a cross-community initiative. After a brief introduction by Dr. Konrad Pagitz (University of Innsbruck, Neophyte Officer of the Tyrol region) on the identification, removal, and disposal of neophytes, participants will head directly to affected locations where initial plant populations will be removed together. Further actions are planned. Please bring: garden shears (optional scythe/mower), gloves, sturdy footwear, and long clothing. Registration is not required.
Working together. Protecting nature.
Neophytes are non-native plant species that spread aggressively, displacing native plants and potentially harming humans, animals, and nature. To protect native biodiversity, we want to collaborate across communities in the future.
In addition to the dates in Leutasch and Scharnitz, the next joint action – led by Dr. Konrad Pagitz – will take place around Wildsee and along the Reither Moor.
