Altöttinger Horticultural Association: Recognition as a nature conservation association brings a breath of fresh air
Altötting.Significant news was announced at the autumn meeting in the “Münchner Hof”: The Altöttinger district association for horticulture and landscape conservation has now received the status of a recognized nature conservation association in Upper Bavaria. Clemens Jobst, the chairman of the association, shared this positive news that he had brought with him from the district meeting in Feldkirchen. This is an important award, as only the local associations in Upper Bavaria are now allowed to use this title on their letterheads. The Lower Bavaria region also already has plans to achieve similar recognition.
With this award, the association hopes to increase membership numbers, especially among young people. It is seen as an opportunity to arouse interest in nature and environmental protection and to involve younger generations in the club's work. Such a commitment could also lead to the issues of horticulture and landscape conservation receiving more public attention. The combination of tradition and environmental protection is considered important in order to clarify relevant questions for future generations.
The path to recognition
Recognition as a nature conservation association not only means an improvement in public relations for the members, but also additional advantages in promoting projects in the field of nature and the environment. The Altötting district association can now officially participate in supra-regional projects and benefit from offers from government agencies. This could also strengthen cooperation with other nature conservation organizations and open up new perspectives.
The introduction of the new title provides a positive impulse for the club's work and emphasizes the importance of volunteer work in the area of environmental protection. The association hopes this move will help focus on sustainable practices in horticulture and promote conservation concerns in the region. Regardless of the planning in Lower Bavaria, it remains to be seen how this development will affect the individual local associations and what measures will be taken to implement further environmental initiatives.
