From Farmland to Flowering Landscape: New Project Launches in Eldena

Between the monastery ruins and the Eldena beach area, a new natural and experiential space for people and the environment will take shape over the coming months. Across around three hectares, the project BioDi-OH is developing „BioDi-OH“ a species-rich flowering landscape with native plants, pathways, and interactive activities.

The area is intended to create a habitat for wild bees, butterflies, and many other insect species — while also becoming a place where people can experience nature directly: through walking, observing, learning, and taking part in shared events and workshops.

Together with local residents, the project team is exploring how insect and plant diversity develops across the site. The project is being scientifically supported by University of Greifswald and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institut.

The project is also exploring another question: How does nature in our immediate surroundings influence our well-being and shape the way we perceive biodiversity?

The project is supported by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt as part of the initiative One Health Region Western PomeraniaTogether with regional partners from agriculture, science, and civil society, the project aims to explore how biodiversity promotion, local recreation, and agricultural use can be meaningfully combined.

The public is also invited to actively follow and support the development of the site — for example through hands-on activities, guided tours, and local events.
