New nature conservation guard Dr. Niemetz ensures more environmental awareness!

A fresh wind blows through the district of Günzburg: The newly appointed nature conservation guard Hans-Christian Niemetz grabs to protect nature on its own doorstep. Today on June 12, 2025, he was officially given this honorable task, which not only requires a lot of commitment, but also a good knack for interpersonal. In the communities of Kammeltal, Wiesenbach and Neuburg an der Kammel, he will now be active and represent the interests of nature.

The district office signals great joy about Niemetz ’commitment and describes it as the ninth voluntary nature conservation guard in the district. In a message, Andrea Hofmann, head of department for building and environment, emphasizes the importance of such voluntary support for nature conservation. "We are grateful for everyone who brings in," says Hofmann.

diverse tasks in nature conservation

But what exactly will never do now? One of his main tasks is to educate the population about the respectful handling of nature. His specialist knowledge is particularly required in protected areas. He also protects the flora and fauna and is committed to ensuring that violations of nature conservation law are quickly determined and prevented. Max Delle, who looks after the nature conservation guard in the district, emphasizes how important communication is on site to promote understanding of nature conservation and landscape maintenance.

The nature conservation guard is active throughout Bavaria and represents a valuable interface between the citizens and the nature conservation authorities. This voluntary organization is organized by diverse local groups and therefore offers numerous opportunities to get involved.

volunteering and its importance

volunteering is of immense importance in the area of environment and nature conservation. According to the Bayerische Rundfunk , over 30 million people were volunteered in 2020. "Without the volunteers, many projects are hardly conceivable," emphasizes Olaf Brandt, chairman of the federal government. Interest in working in nature conservation is also growing, because many organizations are looking for active support.

We always get information about the numerous offers that volunteers offer, be it when protecting frogs and toads or re -insightful bogs. Platforms such as the Landkreis-guenzburg.de are very helpful to link volunteers with suitable projects.

When asked how interested parties can apply for a nature conservation guard, Claus Wittmann from Agna replies that these applications are accepted by the district offices and found to be suitable for specific training. In particular, it is desirable that younger people are enthusiastic about the nature conservation guard to bring a breath of fresh air to the organization.

According to experience, volunteer work not only offers the opportunity to actively contribute to nature care, but also to close new friendships and enjoy unique experiences in nature. In this sense, the district of Günzburg is happy about every helping hand and hopes that many other people will follow the example of Hans-Christian Niemetz.
