The “Hannoversche Moorgeest” LIFE+ Project follows on from the first planning phase of the Hanover Region’s large-scale "Hannoversche Moorgeest" nature conservation project (“large-scale” denoting a project of national representative importance). The current LIFE Project can draw on extensive work previously done during that period. The following text documents and maps are used as a basis:
