Region Hohe Brücke3953 Gemeinde Leuk
Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - Make an active contribution to the valuable natural and cultural landscape in Valais! Get actively involved in preserving and enhancing natural habitats in the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park!
The rocky steppe of Valais is located only in the warmest and driest places, on stony soil and even cliff faces. It is composed of a special flora and fauna that is reminiscent of the large steppe areas of continental Asia. However, increasing forest cover threatens the biodiversity adapted to these habitats. On November 9th we would like your help to preserve this habitat. Help care for a habitat that is valuable to many birds and insects!
