ECONNECT — Connecting habitats, connecting people

As part of the ECONNECT project, numerous project ideas were born in a comprehensive integration process of all interested parties. This resulted in the formulation of a large transnational project with the abbreviation “VEuEr” (“Networking and Experience”). As no funding could be recovered for this overall project, the strategy had to be changed. There was a selection process, which should include a total of 4 individual projects, which could still be implemented or initiated during the project period of ECONNECT. Since the forest is the defining and characteristic habitat type in the pilot region “Northern Limestone Alps/Eisenwurzen/Dürrenstein”, the selection of subprojects also focused on ideas from the working group “Forest”. The measures correspond to a mix of project ideas from the forest module from the project experiment VEuEr. The aim was always to cover all three essential tasks, from implementation to technical dialogue and public relations.
