Riparian forests reputed as breeding grounds for biodiversity, have unfortunately, and to a large extent disappeared from river landscapes. The objective of the project “Gravel and Sand Extraction at the Nordheimer Au” from the company LZR is to create a nature protection area and a river meadow landscape. This demand responds to the European Water Framework Directive, which sees the function of riparian forests as flood water retention areas. In addition, a water reservoir for Nordheim has been created and Barren wasteland abandoned orchards will evolve into a nature protected area.
