Wildflower Strip on the Eifelsteig

Highlight • Natural

A flower strip is a strip of land sown with seeds of mostly colorful flowering plant species, usually on the edge of a field, which is intended to promote local biodiversity. Flower strips are usually created by farmers as part of agri-environmental measures, but there are also those created by private initiatives, nature conservation associations or public bodies, which can then also be located within settlements (in the urban environment).
