New Nature in NE-Germany  - An exciting journey through (restored) nature flavoured with a dash of culture (17.-21. August 2006) 

Early bird registration extended until 15th of May !

Description:
  Region
The excursion leads us through the east part of the federal state of “Mecklenburg-Vorpommern” near the Baltic Sea. This area was “sculptured” during and after the last ice-age leaving behind a very heterogeneous landscape. The carving water of melting glaciers “modelled” the ground moraines, end moraines and sanders and gave them their numerous lakes and valleys all differing in size and shape.
The variety of poor and richer soils mixed with fens, bogs and lakes are the basis for an exciting landscape known for its enormous species-richness.
The area is also known for its low population density, its low grade of landscape fragmentation as well as for its numerous large-scale restoration inititiaves.

Aims
The main focus of the excursions will lay on the large-scaled restoration of wetlands but also other habitats as woodlands and heaths will be subject of our explorations (for furhter details on excursion program).
The excursion is not aimed at visiting numerous sites within the shortest period of time. At every excursion site we will take ample time for walking, looking around, explaining and discussing. We want to experience the landscape.
Organizer:
Drs. Kees Vegelin & Drs. Geranda Olsthoorn (Aquila Nature) and Prof. Dr. Michael Succow (University of Greifswald). At several sites external guides will share with us their expert knowledge.
