Last week, there was a flurry of gardening activity at ebalta: a group of employees, along with some of their children, were busily raking the fallow land in front of one of the production halls. \u201cWe\u2019re creating a flowering meadow here to promote biodiversity,\u201d explains Konstantin Pauli, Sustainability Manager at ebalta, describing the initiative. This is an important project, as insect numbers have been declining dramatically for years. Furthermore, of the roughly 34,000 insect species in Germany, many are critically endangered, and some have even already gone extinct. \u201cWith our flowering project, we want to contribute to biodiversity, because insects are important to us: for pollination, as beneficial organisms in forestry and agriculture, and as decomposers for healthy soils,\u201d emphasises Konstantin Pauli.<\/p>\n

Support from the professionals<\/h5>\n

ebalta has brought on board the young Berlin-based company \u201cArtengl\u00fcck<\/a>\u201d as a partner for the project. Felix Schulze-Varnholt is a co-founder and managing director, and is overseeing the project on site at ebalta. A graduate in agricultural science, he has been campaigning for more flowering areas throughout Germany, Switzerland and Austria for the past five years. \u201cWe now have over 100 partner farmers with whom we have brought fallow land back to life,\u201d reports Felix Schulze-Varnholt. \u201cFor some time now, we have also been advising companies that have spare land available for flowering meadows.\u201d Over 100 hectares of flowering areas have already been created in this way. \u201cWe want to make native species happy again,\u201d says Felix Schulze-Varnholt, summarising the aim of his work.<\/p>\n

The area in front of Hall 5 at ebalta has now been prepared, and it\u2019s time to start sowing. The seeds, supplied by the wild plant seed supplier Rieger-Hofmann in Raboldshausen near Blaufelden, consist of 40 different wildflower and herb seeds. \u201cThe first flowers will be visible in about eight weeks,\u201d promises Felix Schulze-Varnholt. Initially, the mostly annual plants will sprout, such as cornflowers and sunflowers, coriander and linseed. The wild herbs will initially form only a rosette of leaves this year and will not bloom in full splendour until next year.<\/p>\n

Further climate protection initiatives in the pipeline<\/h5>\n

To finish off the gardening project, the seeds are pressed firmly into the ground with a roller. Now it\u2019s a case of being patient until the first shoots appear and, eventually, the flowers too. To ensure the project is a success, Artengl\u00fcck ebalta will continue to provide advice and support in the coming weeks and months. \u201cThis flowerbed is likely to be just the start of various climate protection initiatives,\u201d says Konstantin Pauli. \u201cWe\u2019ve got plenty more planned and will continue to be actively involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
