Description
The project focuses on the restoration of damaged meadows and the establishment of new species-rich lawns using two innovative methods. The support for the use of regional seed mixtures across the Czech Republic will contribute to increase or maintain the diversity of localities of conservation value but also of agricultural and anthropogenic habitats, thus improving the state of the Czech landscape. The development of the Database of donor grassland sites will facilitate the planning of seed harvesting by machines. It will also help the development of the green hay transfer method which has more complex logistics (demanding timing of biomass transfer). Moreover, it will lead to the deeper cooperation between universities in the Czech Republic and abroad (project partners), the non-profit sector, professional companies, farmers and state institutions.
