The Nature Conservation Advisory Board at the Regensburg District Office has recently reorganized itself to address the challenges in the area of nature conservation and environmental awareness. These advisory boards, which consist of experts, are required by law in Bavaria and play a crucial role in advising the nature conservation authorities. The members are appointed for a period of five years, and the current term of office begins on September 1, 2024 and ends on August 31, 2029.
The constitutive meeting of the new nature conservation advisory board took place on August 31, 2024. District Administrator Tanja Schweiger welcomed the new members in the district office meeting room. The newly appointed members include experts from various fields, including Dr. Albrecht Muscholl-Silberhorn, Christoph Bauer, Torsten Mierswa, Raoul Kreienmeier and Reinhard Neft. These experts bring valuable knowledge of nature conservation, landscape management and biology, which is of great importance for the work of the advisory board.

The meeting also included the farewell of the members of the previous term of office.
