Foundation of the grain cooperative “Käre vum Séi”

The Öewersauer Nature Park, the SEBES and the LAKU are pleased to announce that on 9 February 2021 the cooperative “Käre vum Séi” was officially founded. A total of 19 farms have joined forces under the name “Käre vum Séi” to grow wheat, spelt and rye in the region of the Öewersauer Nature Park under increased water protection standards. The cooperative has set itself the goal of protecting soil and water and marketing the grain independently. In this way, the farmers actively participate in water protection in the reservoir region and also secure fair payment. This is guaranteed by the bakery Jos & Jean-Marie – Gebäck vum Séi. Jean-Marie Neuberg, one of the managers of the bakery, has worked towards fair payment for the farmers and thus shows great respect for the agricultural work in the region.

“Loscht op Natur – Swallows” and “Swallows in the nature park”

The biological Station of the Naturpark has edited a new information sheet on the theme of “Swallows”. It treats their biology and the protection possibilities.

To support the house martins in the nature park of the Upper Sûre, we offer to install articial nests and droppings boards on the houses of interested inhabitants of our communes. The nests and the boards will be cleaned during the following years, one time per year, by the nature park.

As the artificial nests should be installed this winter/ early spring, the interested participants should contact us until the 15th of February 2021 by email (ecology@naturpark-sure).

Éislek on its way to become the FIRST “Leading Hiking Region”

The marking has begun!
The Éislek offers ideal conditions for becoming one of the top hiking regions in Europe, which is exactly what the Regional Tourism Board Éislek is working towards within the framework of the LEADER project “Qualitéitswanderregioun Éislek”. After intensive coordination with the partners of the region, the planning work has been completed so far and the infrastructural work on the hiking trails has begun. The intention is to strengthen the region even more and to increase the hiking experience for locals as well as for guests.
