Funding by the Kurt and Erika Schrobach Foundation (Nature Conservation Projects in Schleswig-Holstein)

The Kurt and Erika Schrobach Foundation supports effective nature conservation projects in Schleswig-Holstein aimed at preserving valuable habitats, promoting biodiversity, and protecting biotopes. In close cooperation with locally rooted associations and organizations, measures such as the creation of insect islands, bat protection projects, rewetting of moors, and the development of floodplain landscapes are implemented. With a current portfolio of over 3,300 hectares of secured natural areas, the foundation is one of the largest private nature conservation sponsors in the region. Funding applications can be submitted on an ongoing basis, allowing for flexible responses to urgent ecological challenges.

Eligible for funding are non-profit organizations and public institutions based in Schleswig-Holstein whose projects serve habitat and species protection. Grants are provided to realize concepts for land conservation, revitalization of natural forests, or restoration of wetlands. Regional initiatives engaged in sustainable local nature conservation work are particularly encouraged to apply. Inquiries can be made at any time through the foundation’s office, without fixed allocation periods. Interested parties will receive prompt feedback after reviewing the funding requirements to collaboratively plan and implement projects. The Kurt and Erika Schrobach Foundation places great importance on long-term partnerships to actively shape landscape change in Schleswig-Holstein in harmony with municipal as well as agricultural and forestry interests.
