Our Nature Park Schools

NMS Weißenbach/Enns, VS St. Gallen and VS Altenmarkt bei St. Gallen

The Association of Austrian Nature Parks has been awarding the title of “Austrian Nature Park School” to the schools located in Nature Parks since 2007. The Nature Park Schools share the goal of imparting knowledge and awareness to students in a way that is adapted to the needs of different age groups. Their fields of activities include quality assessment in the conservation of nature and cultural landscapes; raising awareness; promoting circular economy based on the “From the region – for the region” principle; clean energies; experiential learning and nature education. In the Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature Park, this title is currently held by the elementary schools of Altenmarkt and St. Gallen as well as the Weißenbach/Enns secondary school which has led to close cooperation between these schools and the Nature and Geopark. Including topics related to environmental protection and the ideas of the Nature Park into the curriculum helps raise nature awareness among students.
