On 8 August, the final Open Meadow Day of this season will take place in Skr\u012bveri, where the Latvian Fund for Nature and entrepreneur and grassland manager J\u0101nis Kravalis will introduce participants to the biodiversity and restoration of natural meadows. The Open Meadow Day will take place at the \u201cPiekrastes\u201d farm in Skr\u012bveri, where J\u0101nis Kravalis has been restoring natural meadows for more than seven years. The event will be useful both for people who would like to restore meadows on their own property and for those who want to explore meadow biodiversity and plants. Participation is free of charge, with prior registration at https:\/\/ej.uz\/plavudienaskriveri. <\/strong>https:\/\/ej.uz\/plavudienaskriveri<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

J\u0101nis Kravalis has been restoring the meadows in Skr\u012bveri since 2017, when he became involved as a partner in the GrassLIFE project. His meadows have been used to test and implement the use of rattle seeding as a grassland restoration method, which has produced visible results, with the meadows recovering from the dominance of expansive species. These meadows are also home to the rare and specially protected cross Gentian. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event will begin with morning coffee at 10.30. From 11.00 to 12.00, J\u0101nis Kravalis and Latvian Fund for Nature grassland expert Baiba Strazdi\u0146a will talk about the management of natural meadows in this area. From 12.00 to 14.00, participants will take a walk through the meadows, where they will be able to discover different plants and learn about the meadow restoration methods used here. From 14:.0 onwards, participants will be able to taste natural meadow products at a picnic and ask experts and the host questions about meadow restoration. <\/p>\n

During Open Meadow Days, the Latvian Fund for Nature introduces participants to nature-friendly farmers \u2014 landowners and managers who, alongside their agricultural activities, work to conserve and restore natural values. Natural meadows are one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in Latvia, but they now cover only 0,9% of the country\u2019s territory, and their conservation requires targeted management. <\/p>\n

J\u0101nis Kravalis runs an IT company in his everyday life, but in the meadows of the Daugava Valley, he becomes a nature-friendly farmer. Here, step by step, he restores natural meadows \u2014 clearing shrubs, shaping the landscape and experimenting with different grassland restoration methods in search of the most suitable solutions for nature. <\/p>\n

J\u0101nis\u2019 greatest motivation is his family and children. By restoring meadows, he is not only caring for today\u2019s landscape, but also ensuring that one of Latvia\u2019s most valuable natural treasures \u2014 natural meadows \u2014 will be preserved for future generations. <\/p>\n
