Landkreis Regensburg Launches 'Gelbes Band' Initiative for Free Fruit Picking
The Landkreis Regensburg has launched the 'Gelbes Band' initiative, allowing residents to pick fruit from over 700 marked trees along public paths and county roads. The aim is to prevent fruit from rotting and preserve orchards as habitats for biodiversity.
The initiative, a cooperation between the local organization, gardening association, and horticultural advisory service, marks trees with yellow bands or rings. Participating municipalities can be found on the Landkreis Regensburg official website. Trees and their surroundings must be treated with care, and only private use of the fruit is permitted. Unmarked trees remain private property.
Each year, fruit that goes unpicked rots, leading to waste. The Gelbes Band initiative encourages harvesting, ensuring that these fruits are put to good use. By picking fruit, residents also help maintain the orchards as valuable habitats for local wildlife.
The Gelbes Band initiative is a win-win for both residents and the environment. It provides free, fresh produce while preserving orchards as vital habitats. Residents are encouraged to check the Landkreis Regensburg website for participating municipalities and marked trees. Always remember to treat the trees and their surroundings with care and respect private property.
