Local shrubs: Salzburg collect seeds for the future!

Salzburg, Österreich - In Salzburg, the preservation of domestic plant species is increasingly being maintained. The nature conservation department launched the initiative to protect and multiply the increasingly rare types of shrubs such as hawthorn and red hard drain from the region. This is particularly important because many garden owners are dependent on international commodity that endangers the local flora and the insects that depend on it and bumblebees. Günter Jaritz from the nature conservation department emphasizes: "If you spend trees up that are not regional, then you influence the flora through crossings." In order to counteract this, a first tranche of 50 shrub species is now distributed to Salzburg farmers and garden owners in April, such as ORF Salzburg reported .

targeted street collection for sustainable diversity

The regional hand collection of domestic wild trees takes place on selected mother stocks that are carefully documented and looked after. These stocks are the basis for a sustainable plant increase and should guarantee the origin of the seeds, such as wildundkultivated.at explained . The fruits are handled manually by trained employees between June and December. This is followed by an increase in the cuttings in the season suitable for the respective type. It is ensured that the material collected is clearly separated and packaged to ensure the biological diversity of the region.
