The Greifswald Mire Centre demonstrated yesterday how mowing of cattail (Typha) in coastal wetlands is conducted. Typha can be used as a sustainable construction material and has excellent insulation properties. More information on paludiculure, the productive use of wet peatlands, can be found under https://greifswaldmoor.de/home.html and http://paludikultur.de/.
Typha will also be planted on some of our floating islands!
