Recently, we have been lucky enough to get a chance to buy lands that are naturaly damp. We had been managing the lands for more than two years and recreated a reed-sedge wetland there which would be a native habitat at the lands. However, since we hadn´t been an owner of the lands the nature protection purpose was in danger all the time.
So you can only imagine how happy we were when we found out it would be possible to purchase the land and ensure the guarantee the protection of nature forever. The competition of land purchase in the area is huge since most of companies buy it for agriculture. We were able to purchase it for a bargain 0.23 € per squere meter and the area is more than 42 hectars!
The lands are creating an amazing oasis in the agricultural land of the region consisting of monocultures. It is a refuge for all the wildlife. Same as all wetlands, it helps with retention of water in the landscape, cools down the microclimate and stores quite a lot of carbon.
