Raising awareness & generating enthusiasm
Environmental education and nature interpretation are key elements in raising awareness of the importance of our natural world, inspiring enthusiasm and contributing to the long-term protection of valuable habitats. This is precisely where our educational work comes in: we aim to raise people’s awareness of the unique features of the nature reserve and bring them closer to nature in a lively and inspiring way.
Along the Moor Trail, you’ll find a bilingual themed trail (German & Czech) that offers fascinating insights into the world of moors. There’s also a free audio guide, which follows the stops along the Moor Trail and provides informative commentary throughout the walk.
As well as nature education programmes, the Nature Park Association also offers a varied programme of events: This includes specialist excursions, seminars and workshops on various topics, such as renaturation, natural gardening, bats, insects, fungi, light pollution, stargazing tours, herbalism and pond management.
Our educational programmes are characterised by a genuine enthusiasm for nature, innovative approaches and a clear focus on the needs of our visitors. The high quality of our educational delivery is particularly important to us: we therefore place great emphasis on the thorough training of our nature and landscape guides, as well as our forest educators, who make unforgettable nature experiences possible.
At the same time, our work helps to strengthen a sense of connection with the region and the nature park. Working closely with partners – such as the NÖMS Heidenreichstein Nature Park School or Bühler Heidenreichstein – we foster a bond with the local natural environment and create a lasting awareness of environmental and nature conservation.
Our diverse and authentically designed educational programmes invite visitors to experience nature with all their senses – and to forge a lasting connection with it.
