The fauna in the wet polder at the end of the winter flooding
On Sunday, April 22nd, 2007, 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 wet polder, which at this point in time should still be flooded after the spring flood.
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.
