Upgrading and Maintaining the Vilters Gravel Trap
Since 2017, volunteers from the SGKB have been supporting our maintenance work in the gravel trap for two days each year. This freed up capacity to offer new structures to the wildlife in the gravel trap in November 2018. Spawning aids specifically designed for the needs of the yellow-bellied toad were installed, a stone pile was created to provide warming and shelter for amphibians and reptiles, and a wood pile was built. This serves a variety of purposes, including as a shelter for hedgehogs or weasels, for example, or as an egg-laying site for wild bees. A significant decline in the invasive goldenrod is also encouraging!

The Vilters shingle is a pretty little lake that reflects the mountains. On the shore there is a rest area with a fireplace and a large playground for the kids.
