In 1985, BUND Nature Conservation and the city administration created a sandy biotope with ditches and a pond that is typical of Nuremberg in the western part of Marienberg Park. The open sandy areas offer an optimal habitat, especially for the spadefoot toads, which are very rare today. To ensure that it stays that way, bank trees and pollard willows must be cut annually, because the amphibians need sunny pools with a sandy beach.

The larvae of the rare sand beetles dig their burrows in the sand and lie in wait for prey. The endangered silver grass and individual sand grass grow between them. Important hiding places for waterfowl are the dense reed areas and the willow bushes. It's not just animals who thank us for our efforts - children also romp around in the biotope, especially in summer.
