Eco-points & compensation areas Sankt Wendel | greeNature
Compensation in Sankt Wendel district according to Saarland nature conservation law.
Desealing and urban greening
Demolition of sealed surfaces on conversion and commercial sites, soil loosening and greening. Such measures provide ecologically effective compensation in densely built areas.
Forest conversion and woodland improvement
Conversion of monoculture forests into species-rich mixed forests with structural diversity. Dead wood and forest edges promote insects, woodpeckers, bats and other woodland species.
Protected species in the Golden eagle
Wet meadow and heathland development
Creation and management of wet meadows and heathland habitats, important for meadow-breeding birds, amphibians and specialised insects. These habitats develop from targeted extensification and rewetting of agricultural land.
About this species ›Hedgerow and biotope network creation
Establishment and management of hedgerows, shrub corridors and stepping-stone habitats in the landscape. These structural elements network habitats, support field birds and small mammals and strengthen ecological connectivity.
About this species ›Species protection CEF and FCS
Building and tree quarters for bats, breeding habitats for birds of prey and ground-breeding birds, as well as amphibian ponds, each tailored according to species requirements and Saarland law.
About this species ›Habitat restoration and creation
Restoration of native habitats through targeted habitat creation and species-appropriate management, sustainable for long-term conservation success.
About this species ›Water body restoration and creation
Restoration of water bodies and creation of new ponds and wetlands as habitats for amphibians, dragonflies and aquatic plant communities.
About this species ›Grassland and meadow restoration
Restoration of meadows and grasslands through extensification, management and reintroduction of traditional use patterns supporting biodiversity.
About this species ›Which projects trigger a compensation obligation?
Shrub and woodland edge enhancement
Enhancement of shrub areas, hedgerows and forest edges to create structurally diverse, productive habitats for birds, insects and small mammals.
Restoration of riparian and floodplain habitats
Restoration of stream corridors and floodplains with dynamic morphology, diverse riparian vegetation and near-natural inundation regimes.
Connectivity restoration and landscape networking
Creation of ecological corridors and habitat networks through targeted habitat creation, reducing fragmentation and promoting species movement.
Monitoring and adaptive management
Long-term monitoring of compensation areas with adaptive management ensuring habitat quality and species success.
