On 18.11.2022 Dr. Malte Ehrich from the Ministry of Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and Environment of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Department 270: Peatlands, Ecosystem Services, Competence Center Ecovalue Papers and Education for Sustainable Development came to visit us in the LIFE project. Dr. Ehrich is also a member of the board of trustees of the Stiftung Umwelt- und Naturschutz MV. We visited with him the hydraulic engineering facilities in the polder Mönkebude, which were upgraded by the LIFE project, looked at the works of the poplar removal in the polder Bugewitz and put the special focus on the peat body, which we looked at more closely in the polder Mönkebude. We discussed the AUKM program (Agri-environmental and Climate Measures) "Peat conservation water management", how successful it has been the last two years in the LIFE project, what were the advantages and disadvantages and what are the improvements.
