The Hëllef fir d'Natur Foundation needs to strengthen its team.

The "Marais de Grendel" nature reserve on the Belgian-Luxembourg border is home to exceptional biodiversity in a protected wetland environment. To ensure its long-term survival and improve public access, renovation work is required. The work, estimated at €60,000, is aimed at preserving this cross-border natural heritage.

The Hëllef fir d'Natur Foundation announces the publication of its 2024 annual report, now available under "our publications".

The common hornbeam is a true ally of biodiversity! Present in 17% of Luxembourg's forests, it nurtures and shelters numerous species, while resisting climatic challenges.

The aim of this new Belgian-Luxembourg Life project is to create or improve habitats for species in open areas in the Belgian Ardennes and Luxembourg Eislek.

Under the patronage of HRH the Hereditary Grand Duke, the Fondation Hëllef fir d'Natur launches its annual tree-planting campaign this Thursday, November 14. Initiated by the Fondation Hëllef fir d'Natur in 1992, the annual National Tree Day (JNA) represents the launch of a fund-raising and awareness-raising campaign, designed to encourage public and private bodies, as well as individual citizens, to plant trees and shrubs, which are essential to biodiversity in both rural and urban areas. In recent years, hedgehog populations have declined massively throughout Europe. If man's negative impact on the hedgehog continues, it is to be feared that this species will soon be reclassified as "endangered".
