Natural landscape restoration work under the Pearl Habitat Programme is planned for Toholamm and the Environment Agency is looking for people willing to implement the programme.
Since last year, the Environment Centre of South Ostrobothnia has been restoring traditional biotopes in Central Ostrobothnia.
Now it’s the turn of Toholamm’s natural landscapes. Ely is looking for landowners, animal keepers and contractors willing to carry out restoration and management work.
Sheep or heifers are needed for landscape grazing. The project will also involve a lot of work in erecting fences and clearing trees.
About 9 hectares of the cultural landscape of Lestijokilaakso, which is nationally valuable, will be worked on in the municipality.
According to Ely, in most locations the animals that take care of the landscape can drink directly from Lestijoki.
The renovation works are financed through Helmi support. Ely’s expert guides the implementation of the works.
