Heimatsmühle Environmental Protection
and Nature Conservation Award
We have been awarding our “environmental protection and nature conservation award” since 1990. Any individuals, groups, associations, schools, classes, nursery schools, businesses, or citizens’ initiatives, etc. that were involved in environmental protection and nature conservation in the previous year may apply for the award. Involvement includes everything from building bird nesting boxes, creating biotopes, and helping fauna and flora to prosper, to planting hedges, orchards, and marshes, cleaning up, or other projects. An independent jury of eminent experts choose the award winner every year.
The Heimatsmühle itself also makes a contribution to environmental protection by using a water turbine to generate electricity.
