Our organization's "yellow ribbon" initiative is resuming.

Unpicked fruit routinely spoils each year. However, the Yellow Ribbon Initiative in our institution aims to address this issue once more this year. Placing a yellow ribbon, or a yellow indication mark, on a tree's trunk indicates: This tree can be freely and without doubt, taken from its owner.

Regensburg County Launches Yellow Ribbon Initiative for 'Pick-Your-Own' Fruit Trees

In an effort to encourage residents to enjoy local fruits and preserve biodiversity, Regensburg County has launched a new initiative. Councilor Tanja Schweiger has spearheaded the marking of over 700 fruit trees with yellow ribbons, making them available for public picking.

This collaborative effort between the county, the OGV county association, and the county's garden advisory service aims to prevent fruits from rotting in the fields and promote a regional taste experience. Some county municipalities also participate in the initiative.

The exact locations, number of trees, and types of fruit to be harvested can be found on the Regensburg county homepage. It is essential to note that picking fruit is at your own risk, with no liability assumed for accidents.

The rules for picking the fruit were not specified in the provided text, but it is important to treat the trees and their surroundings with care, causing no damage. Fruit may only be used privately and not for commercial purposes. Unmarked trees are off-limits without permission.

Caring for and protecting orchards is crucial for preserving biodiversity in our cultural landscape. The county's garden advisory service and the OGV county association have been raising awareness about orchard care and preservation through advice and events for years.

The Yellow Ribbon initiative, which has been in place in the organization for three years, is part of this ongoing effort. By participating, residents can enjoy a variety of fruits while contributing to the preservation of Regensburg's cultural landscape.
