Rare Species, Old Trees: Park Wechselburg in Climate Change - Historic Schlosspark Wechselburg to Get 1.4M Euro Boost for Climate Resilience
Schlosspark Wechselburg, a historic park near me in Saxony, is set to receive a 1.4 million euro boost from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, Building and Community. The funding aims to make the park climate-resilient by 2027, ensuring its future as a Fauna-Flora-Habitat and bird sanctuary.
The Landesstiftung Natur und Umwelt (LaNu) is leading the project, aiming to give nature space to develop naturally. This may result in a more untidy appearance, but it's crucial for the park's long-term health.
The park, home to around 20 bird species including the hobby falcon and red kite, faces threats from floods of the Mulde and drought stress on its diverse tree population. Rare species like the tulip tree and katsura tree require special protection.
Beavers have been nibbling on old beech trees, prompting safety measures for traffic. The upcoming Saxon Park Seminar will address this, featuring tree maintenance and the planting of a new Weymouth pine.
The park, created in the style of an English landscape park around 1830, surrounds a castle and late Romanesque basilica. It boasts royal ferns, oaks, beech trees, floodplain forests, and meadows.
The 1.4 million euro investment will help Schlosspark Wechselburg adapt to climate change, safeguarding its unique ecosystem and rare tree species for future generations. The park's natural development, despite temporary untidiness, is key to its long-term survival.
