Protecting nature and in particular the landscape as a habitat for wild animals and plants is the task of the employees of the lower nature conservation authority in the environmental law section. Accordingly, the lower nature conservation authority must be involved in all landscape-related projects and plans as a public authority. This generally applies to building projects in outdoor areas, road construction projects, urban land-use planning and land consolidation.

Guidelines for Solar Systems
The expansion of renewable energy is a key component of climate protection. At the same time, it is essential to protect nature and biodiversity. Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems offer the opportunity to combine both goals—but only if nature conservation and species protection are consistently taken into account.
For this reason, the District Office has published guidelines for solar power plants. The guidelines contain tips and recommendations for nature-friendly solar parks and explain the legal framework. In addition, the guidelines indicate which areas should be prioritized for solar parks. You can find the guidelines here
