A Year in Peatlands
Excursion to the Bargischow Polderser
11/04/2026 The ‘A Year in the Peatlands’ excursion series explores different peatland sites each month – ranging from near-natural areas to those under active use, as well as degraded and rewetted sites. On-site experts provide insights into biodiversity, land-use history, climate protection and restoration.
The next excursion takes place on 25 April 2026 from 10:00 to 12:30 at the Bargischow South Polder. The meeting point is at the pumping station in Bargischow. The route covers approximately four kilometres on foot along roads and gravel paths.
On site, the wet management of a rewetted fen with active water management will be presented. The aim is to demonstrate that site-specific use of peatlands is compatible with the requirements of bird, nature and climate protection and can also be implemented on a large scale.
The excursion will be led by Anke Nordt (University of Greifswald). Participation is free of charge and open to all interested parties. Weatherproof clothing and sturdy footwear are recommended.
