Ecological improvement: Riedbach receives a natural design
In Zandt, the Riedbach is being ecologically upgraded to protect nature and to compensate for the expansion of Zollner Elektronik.
Ecological improvement: Riedbach receives a natural design
An exciting project is currently being implemented in the municipality of Zandt to ecologically upgrade a tributary of the Riedbach. Over a stretch of around 100 meters, the stream will be redesigned to promote nature and create habitats for various animal species. This measure is a direct response to the expansion of Zollner Elektronik AG, which is based in the region. The renaturation of the stream is intended to compensate for the interference with nature caused by corporate development.
The redesign of the stream includes the creation of natural meanders that diversify the water flow. Structural elements such as rhizomes, dead wood and disturbing stones are also integrated in order to increase the diversity of the habitat. Shallow water zones and narrowings are also created to provide a home for different species of animals, especially small animals. The final work on the banks is currently underway and the planting of willow and alder cuttings has begun.
Collaboration for nature
The renaturation initiative was launched in close cooperation between the municipality of Zandt and the Zollner company. The preparatory planning work was carried out by the Brandl and Preischl engineering firm from Cham, which has extensive experience in such projects. In addition, the special purpose association for the maintenance of the 3rd order waters was able to rely on proven specialists to ensure the implementation of the measures.
Those responsible, including Mayor Hans Laumer and Michael Multerer, chairman of the special purpose association, got an idea of the progress on site. This measure is not only a step towards ecological responsibility, but also a sign of the commitment of the community and local companies to protect and promote nature. Projects like these make it clear how important it is to balance economic development and environmental protection.
