Weser-Ems, is located in the north-western reserves of Germany in Lower-Saxony. It is
surrounded by the three important rivers named the Hunte, Weser and Ems. The organization
was founded in 1976 and through the course of 25 years, BSH has become very active
in the preservation of nature and wildlife areas. BSH has developed various
environmental projects and tasks protecting the ecological system and improving
environmental awareness in and around northern Germany.
Objectives
BSHs main objective is the preservation and protection of
wild plants and animals throughout Lower-Saxony. Often the organization also deals and
works with common household plants and domestic animal breeds. Important activities within
BSH range from keeping the community informed on environmental news and
problems and weekly and monthly projects protecting the wildlife areas. BSH
is amoung a group of 13 other ecological organizations in northern Germany, which gives
the institution a qualified position and background in preserving nature.
Focus and Location
BSH operates entirely in the north-western district of Lower-Saxony in
Germany within the specific nature preservation areas located there. The central locations
are in Oldenburg, Wardenburg, Diepholz, and Willhelmshaven. The organization focuses on
protecting and caring for the ponds, meadows, heathers, forests, moors or bogs, and the
undisturbed wildlife areas throughout those locations.
Education and Info
Every half year BSH offers programs for people who are interested in
ecological solutions and nature preservation. The programs include organized nature walks
and excursions, informative speeches, presentations, and invitational visits and tours.
There are many opportunities when BSH is open for guests to visit. The visitors can
learn more about BSHs projects from the past and present or gather
information on important topics. Areas of importance include bird nests, projects dealing
with wild animal shelter, and especially the problems and the protection of the wild
plants growing in and around these precious wildlife reserves.

Four times a year the BSH newspaper has an issue featuring wildlife art and
disscussions on various biological topics. Popular areas are alternative energy and
recycling, ecological protection, and environmental problems caused by humans. The paper
is also for interested amateur scientists and offers subscriptions that are available to
science classes and courses. The most exciting aspects are the extensive publications
offered throughout the year, dealing with scientific discoveries, special wildlife areas,
and biological disscussions on ecological preservation.
