The objective of the project was to develop nature management measures in the Teiči region, by the support of the LIFE program acquiring 29 land units with a total surface area of 409.61 ha, thus ensuring conservation of protected forests and mires. Within the project, measures were implemented relating to the cutting of overgrown bushes in the meadow areas included in the project and improving the hydrology condition of mires. In order to enhance public knowledge on protected areas of the Teiči region, new hiking trails of 1. 92 km in length are created, as well as a number of handouts are developed. As a result, three new Natura 2000 sites were created, helping to ensure a long-term protection of several animal and bird species, and habitats.
Project implementation: year 2001 – 2005
