Dry stone wall "PTUZ"
Renovation of a dry stone wall in the “PTUZ” area in Salgesch
Dry stone walls are ecologically very valuable structures. In the “PTUZ” area in Salgesch, a wall was renovated to preserve biodiversity and the cultural landscape.
Dry stone walls are ecologically very valuable structures. The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park supported the owners in the planning, implementation and financing of this new wall. Dry stone walls, as an old cultural asset, also have a significant impact on the landscape of the Valais vineyards. They are an attractive, important habitat for many animal species (e.g. lizards, wild bees, butterflies). Therefore, destroyed dry stone walls should be restored wherever possible. It is important to prevent these from being replaced by ecologically worthless concrete walls.
