Nature-Friendly Garden Prizes in Osnabrück: What You Need to Know
Citizens of Osnabrück have the opportunity to showcase their nature-friendly front gardens in two separate competitions, organised by the Nature Conservation Foundation of the district and the Department of Environment and Climate Protection of the city of Osnabrück.
To participate, applicants should focus on a nature-friendly design, promoting biodiversity, using native plants, and avoiding pesticides to support local wildlife. The size of the front garden is not a deciding factor for an application.
The application process for both competitions is the same, with the difference being the recipient of the application. Applicants can download the application form from the websites of the district at www.landkreis-osnabrueck.de/naturschutzstiftung or the city of Osnabrück at www.osnabrueck.de/naturschutzpreis. Applicants should submit photos of their front garden along with the completed form.
The city of Osnabrück is awarding prizes of up to 5,000 euros each to nature-friendly gardens in the city competition. The deadline for applications is September 10th. Applications can be submitted by post or email to the Department of Environment and Climate Protection of the city of Osnabrück at Hannoversche Straße 6-8, 49084 Osnabrück or to [email protected]. Questions regarding the city competition can be answered at the telephone number 0541 323-3173.
For the district competition, applications can be submitted by post or email to the Nature Conservation Foundation of the district at Am Schölerberg 1, 49082 Osnabrück or to [email protected]. The postal address for the district competition is Am Schölerberg 1, 49082 Osnabrück, and the postal address for the city competition is Hannoversche Straße 6-8, 49084 Osnabrück.
