Nature protection in harmony with people

We protect biodiversity and habitats

We strive that among the Lower Austrian Nature Park network the Purkersdorf Nature Park becomes a recognised area for nature, learning and experience, where long-term productive interaction between people and nature is possible.

We want to achieve the following goals with our work:

  • We create additional habitats for unique animal and plant species.
  • We work together with the local population to preserve habitats and protected assets (e.g. maintenance of orchard meadows, creation of deadwood hedges, realisation of citizen science projects, combating invasive plants).
  • We place particular emphasis on the new topic of "water and forest".
  • We promote an interest in nature and an understanding of nature conservation among residents and visitors.
  • We ensure that we are recognised as an active nature conservation area in the Vienna Woods Biosphere Reserve through comprehensive public relations work.
