WWF cour­se - re­new na­tu­ral sto­ne walls

The farmer Urs Rutz keeps sheep and processes the milk into cheese. During this mission we help to rebuild an old dry stone wall in the sheep pasture. Create a habitat for reptiles, beetles etc. Urs Rutz keeps sheep and manages the Alp Rotenboden and Badhus. In this mission we are helping to rebuild a destroyed dry stone wall near Badhus (above Stein/SG). In this way, we create valuable habitat for reptiles, small animals, etc. and enable drought-loving plants to find a suitable location in a grazed meadow. The wall also serves as a natural demarcation. During this assignment you will learn practically the principle of dry stone wall construction from natural stone and thus create valuable living space. We also create a valuable exchange between agriculture, nature conservation and the population.
