Update of the Nature Park Strategy (2024)

The new Nature Park Strategy builds upon and expands the 2019 concept.

Involving Local Decision-Makers and External Experts

As a first step, we invited key local and regional decision-makers to a workshop. Together, we evaluated the status of the nature park and identified potential areas for development.

Building on this, we organized additional workshops with external experts on the topics of education and nature conservation to set priorities for our future work.

For regional development, we collaborated with the Urban-Rural Management (SUM) for the Greater Vienna Area & Surroundings. A key achievement was that, with SUM's support, we secured the approval of the City of Vienna's Forestry Administration (MA 49) to integrate the Georgenberg area into the Nature Park starting in 2025.

Online Survey for Public Involvement

We wanted to involve not just "experts" but also the general public. Therefore, we conducted an online survey in August and September. Our goal was to gather feedback on our offerings and identify potential improvements for the nature park's development. 87 participants responded, providing valuable insights into their expectations for the nature park.
