    Creation of a wild meadow in the educational forest

    On the penultimate day of school in the 2022/23 school year, the first advanced course created a wild meadow in the teaching forest. Under the expert guidance of department head DI Lukas Gaier and his colleague Johann es Perner, an area of ​​around 0.4 hectares was planted.

    Four different seed mixtures with and without herbal content were sown on the area. After the mixtures have been established, it is examined which of these mixtures is particularly popular with game. Finally, the area was covered with chopped straw to support the seedlings in establishing themselves and to keep soil erosion to a minimum until there was sufficient vegetation cover. In addition to the ecological value of the area, the event also focused on collaboration between research and teaching. As the photos show, a very successful collaboration. As the teacher in charge, Josef Meierl would like to thank everyone who contributed to the creation of the wild meadow.
