Nature conservation at the copper mine

Nesting boxes for native songbirds, two protected ant hills and an insect hotel catch the eye of every attentive visitor to the surface facilities. The hard-working helpers from GIB (Gesellschaft für Infrastruktur und Beschäftigung des Landkreises Merzig-Wadern) and the association also take care not to mow the grass areas too much or too often, so that there is still something left for the bees (and for the eye).
