In numerous projects and actions we are actively engaged in the preservation of regional forests.

Project management & strategic control: You carry out the entire project and secure milestones, work packages and networks, plan the use of resources and develop content and concepts – for example for Nature Credits – and implement them successfully. Field and laboratory work: You carry out laboratory analyses, plan and accompany field tests and implement measures directly on the surfaces in close cooperation with our technical team. Monitoring & Data Analysis: You analyze data, interpret results and make sure that the data flow from remote sensing and monitoring works smoothly.
