MoFA excursion Bisamberg 2024

Dear friends of malacology!

On 27 September 2024 we plan to go on a malacological excursion to the Bisamberg and the Alte Schanzen in Vienna under the guidance of Michael Duda and Katharina Mason. The excursion is a joint event with the Zoologisch-Botanischen Gesellschaft in Austria (ZooBot). We would like to explicitly invite all those interested in molluscs to get to know the mollusc fauna of this part of Vienna.
No previous knowledge is required!

The area around Vienna’s Bisamberg is important for nature conservation because of its dry, open habitats. The numerous dry grasslands in the area are habitats for several xerothermophilic species that are endangered and protected in Austria. However, we will also be on the lookout for water molluscs.

The meeting point will be at the Senderstraße parking lot, 1210 Vienna, probably at 10 am. The meeting point can easily be reached by public bus from Floridsdorf subway station.

Duration of the excursion: around 6 hours.

More information will follow soon.

Registration by 20 September 2024 at team@molluskenforschung.at

Maximum number of participants: 20

We look forward to your participation!
