Please introduce yourself and tell us a little about yourself, your work, or your interest in conservation grazing:

  • Which country or region are you from?

  • What is your connection to conservation grazing?

  • Are you working directly with grazing animals, research, policy, conservation, education, or another related field?

Welcome to the Conservation Grazing Network Europe Forum

My name is Julia and I am joining from northern Germany.

I am the coordinator of the ConGrazeNetEU Erasmus+ project and one of the moderators of this forum. I hope this forum can become a useful space for professional exchange on conservation grazing across Europe.

I currently work with Bunde Wischen, where we are involved in large-scale conservation grazing systems and the management of different semi-natural habitats in Schleswig-Holstein, including coastal and wet grasslands, species-rich meadows, and heathlands.

I am also involved in rebuilding the European Forum on Nature Conservation and Pastoralism (EFNCP) in Germany in order to continue and strengthen its work around High Nature Value farming and conservation grazing in Europe.

Over the coming weeks and months, I will also share more information and insights into the practical work of Bunde Wischen, including photos and videos from different grazing systems and habitats.

I am looking forward to exchanging experiences and perspectives with people working in different regions and contexts.

Feedback, suggestions, and ideas for the forum are always welcome.

Best wishes,
Julia
