Greening of fence installations

To visually enhance the fencing and create habitats for insects and birds, extensive greening was initiated using primarily evergreen, native climbing plants. The aim is to establish a dense and structurally rich vegetative cover.

The selected species include:

  • Traveller’s joy (Clematis vitalba)
  • Alpine clematis (Clematis alpina)
  • Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum)
  • Ivy (Hedera helix)
  • Blackberry (Rubus fruticosus agg.)
  • Hop (Humulus lupulus)
