Lower Saxony Water Management, Coastal and Nature Protection Agency (NLWKN)
Since 2005, the tasks of water management and nature conservation of the state of Lower Saxony are concentrated in the Lower Saxony Water Management, Coastal and Nature Protection Agency. With eleven operating locations, the NLWKN is represented throughout all of Lower Saxony.
The NLWKN consists of seven divisions and is, among other things, the technical authority for nature conservation in Lower Saxony. The NLWKN-associated Nature Conservation Stations Dümmer and Unterelbe assume duties of nature conservation site management.
The Ministry for the Environment, Energy and Climate Protection of Lower Saxony has commissioned NLWKN’s Division for Nature Conservation to implement the LIFE project GrassBirdHabitats. Within this division, the NLWKN project staff is assigned to the State Agency for Bird Conservation.
In this project, the NLWKN has both a coordinating and a technical role. Therefore, it is involved in almost all actions, including overall project management, habitat-optimising measures, capacity building, monitoring, and public relations.
