Bicy­cle excur­sion to the orchard near Gellmers­dorf / Stolzenhagen

Orchards are not only used for grow­ing fruit, but the areas are also used as grass­land, for exam­ple for mow­ing or exten­sive graz­ing (agro­forestry). In agro­forestry, trees and arable crops, mead­ows and pas­tures are com­bined in one area in such a way that it is equal­ly ben­e­fi­cial for agri­cul­ture, nature and the cli­mate. The orchard of the Low­er Oder Val­ley Nation­al Park Asso­ci­a­tion, plant­ed with old fruit vari­eties, offers plants and ani­mals, so-called cul­tur­al fol­low­ers, var­ied and diverse habi­tats. Thomas Michael (Man­ag­ing Direc­tor of the Low­er Oder Val­ley Nation­al Park Foun­da­tion) imparts a lot of inter­est­ing infor­ma­tion about agro­forestry, old fruit vari­eties and expe­ri­ences and results in cre­at­ing new orchards in a gen­er­al­ly under­stand­able form. A deter­mi­na­tion book is useful.

The excur­sion is free, but dona­tions are welcome.
