Summary of project results
The project contributed to the deepening of local knowledge in the topic: water retention in the landscape. Representatives of members of different communities have been connected and an active group of people has been set up to continue working on the topic. The topic attracted the attention of mayors from the surrounding municipalities, with some of which the implementer is already negotiating. Citizens are much more educated in the subject and, for example, already know what they can do if they experience erosion in the landscape. So they no longer have to feel helpless, on the contrary, they can actively intervene, participate. The representative of the implementer in the Polička region remains the main consultant on the given topic and provides consultations to the residents even after the end of the project. Thanks to the project, the topic of water retention in the landscape throughout Polička has been expanded and deepened. For the implementer himself, the project brought great enrichment because of the theme
has not yet dealt in depth in the whole team. The project implementer has further plans to work with this issue and deepen the interest and emphasis of local citizens
for their active involvement.
