The Förderverein für die Natur der Oberlausitzer Heide- und Teichlandschaft e. V. presents projects of its activities in the University Library. The association was founded in 1991 to promote nature conservation work and environmental education in the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape.

The association's current projects include sheep farming. 600 moorland sheep - a small, light, robust breed of sheep - look after dry grassland, wet meadows and heathland and prevent the landscape from becoming overgrown.

In order to preserve valuable habitats, the association professionally maintains over 400 pollarded willows, among other things.

P.S.: The exhibition was on display in the University Library until June 27, 2016.
