Long-term wet biotope project
The aim of the long-term project is to systematically research the unique school biotope of the HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein with students and to collect the results in a documentation folder. Interim reports will be made regularly and should also be published.
Building on the study results, a wide variety of detailed projects will follow and nature will be brought closer to our students and others.
Important completed projects that represent an essential basis for the long-term “School Biotope” project:
- Construction of a large observation stand (project: Karl Grabenweger)
- Current status recording and measurement of the school biotope (Project: Herwig Pieslinger & Reinhard Wolf)
Project development overview:
- Design and planning of a biotope information board at the rest area cycle path
- Maintenance and design of the existing infrastructure (elevation, footbridges...)
- Record and map biotope structures and biotope types on a small scale
- Plant sociological inventories
- Faunistic observations: Species recordings, behavioral observations of various animal groups: e.g. birds, insects, arachnids, fish, benthos, plankton...
- Species conservation projects
- Action days for other schools, under the motto: "Students teach students", "Understand nature"...
- ... this structure can of course be expanded!
Implementation: All interested teachers and students at HBLFA Raumberg-Gumpenstein can actively participate in the project. In particular, the areas of practice, chemistry and geography are invited by the biologists in charge to help implement the ideas.
