Landscaping
Landscaping industrial areas
Wild Zone restores and manages industrial areas where nature has often been nearly completely destroyed. We fashion and strengthen biodiversity of gravel pits, rock quarries, landfills, factory sites, and noise barriers. We combine fostering biodiversity to the existing functions of an area, as well as to the cycle of industrial materials. We experiment with recycled materials in novel habitat seedbeds, such as crushed concrete or road gravel. We establish novel habitats to industrial areas by using local strains of native plants.
Sand and gravel pits
Decommissioned sand and gravel pits that are in the after-care phase of their cycle are potential open habitats for species of sun-exposed areas. Plant species notable in terms of fostering biodiversity often don’t spread to those decommissioned sand and gravel pits themselves. On such sites, we sow and plant local native plant species, some of which are food for rare insects of the area.
