Further development of the Ybbstal Nature Park

The aim of the project is to further develop the Ybbstal Nature Park as a model region for conservation, education, recreation and regional development. The municipalities of Allhartsberg, Amstetten, Biberbach, Opponitz, Sonntagberg, Waidhofen/Ybbs, Winklarn and Ybbsitz as well as over 100 committed stakeholders are involved. Planned measures include the protection of the Ybbs landscape and the stone crayfish, educational initiatives such as nature park classrooms and a nature mediator network, as well as projects for visitor guidance, regional marketing and experience space development. In a series of regional workshops, E.C.O. is working with the various stakeholders to develop a comprehensive nature park concept that reflects the diversity, vision and goals of the region.
