From a landfill to a biotope

by

When it comes to available land that could be considered for the construction of a solar park, it doesn’t always have to be a field in the middle of the countryside. In fact, many types of land, such as landfills or conversion sites, come into question. One example is the former gravel pit north of Meyenburg in Brandenburg, Germany. For years, the area was a wild dumping ground, but now the piece of land shines in new splendor: with a solar park, including extensive green maintenance measures – and flora and fauna also benefit from this to a great extent.
