The fau­na in the flood­pold before the water is pumped out

On Sun­day, April 17th, 2005, the Nation­al Park Foun­da­tion invites you to the first excur­sion to the Low­er Oder Val­ley. Prof. Dr. Wolf­gang Dohle from the Free Uni­ver­si­ty of Berlin leads through the Fid­di­chow Pold­er (10), which at that time was still like­ly to be flood­ed by win­ter floods. The meet­ing point is the Teero­fen­brücke Wilder­ness School, at 10:00 a.m. at the park­ing lot. Bring good shoes, weath­er­proof cloth­ing and, if nec­es­sary, binoculars.

The Low­er Oder Val­ley is tra­di­tion­al­ly one of the few remain­ing flood­ed areas in Cen­tral Europe. It is the only flood­plain nation­al park in Ger­many. It is there­fore par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ing to get to know the ani­mal world at a time when the pold­ers’ pump­ing, which is extreme­ly dis­ad­van­ta­geous from an eco­log­i­cal point of view, has not yet begun.

The excur­sion is free of charge, dona­tions and pri­or reg­is­tra­tion by tele­phone on Tel.-No .: 03332/219822 are requested.
