Hawthorn

(Crateagus)

Hawthorn serves as food source for many mammals, birds and insects, like wild- and honey bees, bumblebees, hoverflies and butterflies. Up to 146 species of insects rely on this plant. As well as for birds, like Blackbirds, Robins and Starlings.

As part of the educational initiative "Biodiversity and Environmental Education", a green lawn was transformed into a colourful, species-rich garden on this site by the pupils of the Längenfeld Primary School and Middle School Nature Park Schools.
