Successful realizations
The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park implements a wide range of projects to preserve and enhance the natural and cultural landscape. Through targeted measures, it promotes biodiversity, protects valuable habitats and supports local initiatives. The following implementations show impressively how the nature park actively contributes to the preservation of biodiversity and to ensuring an ecological balance in the region.
Brentjong display field
The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park is committed to enhancing and preserving the traditional cultural and natural landscape. In Brentjong, it creates impulses with its display field: The rare species of the arable flora in the field are specifically promoted and preserved there. The field is freely accessible to interested parties.
Dry stone wall project “Rumelingweg”
The dry stone walls along the Rumelingweg trail in the nature park municipality of Leuk are very prominent and immediately catch the eye of hikers. At the start of the joint project in 2020, almost all of the dry stone walls were overgrown with vegetation, in need of renovation and in some cases in serious danger of collapsing. The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park and the nature park municipality of Leuk set themselves the goal of preserving and upgrading the dry stone walls along the historic transport route of national importance.
Since 2020, sections have been maintained, renovated or rebuilt every year in accordance with the upgrading concept developed. The measures are implemented by dry stone wall specialists, supervised community service or volunteer groups and as part of adult courses.
Maintenance of hedges and copses in public areas
In the nature park municipality of Salgesch, hedges are part of the valuable cultural landscape. Some of these hedges and copses are located on public land. In collaboration with the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park office and the Swiss Ornithological Institute, the municipality of Salgesch has launched a project to maintain its hedges and copses in the long term.
