Our organization's "yellow campaign" will be re-initiated.

In the picturesque landscapes of Regensburg County, a new initiative is making waves among nature lovers and fruit enthusiasts alike. The Yellow Ribbon initiative, started at the request of Councilor Tanja Schweiger, aims to harvest unharvested fruits from over 700 trees located along public cycling and hiking trails, county roads, and private properties with permission.

Participating in this initiative is a great way to enjoy a regional taste variety not typically found in supermarkets. The exact locations, number, and types of fruits to be harvested can be found on the Regensburg county's homepage here.

It's important to note that some county municipalities also join in this endeavour. However, the affected towns and municipalities participating in the "pick-your-own" project with the yellow ribbon are not specified in the provided search results.

To participate, simply look for trees adorned with a yellow ribbon or ring on their trunk. This signal indicates that the fruits can be harvested for free without asking the owner. On the other hand, yellow ribbons on trees not marked with yellow ribbons belong to private households, farmers, fruit and garden associations, or municipalities and may not be picked without permission.

Remember, picking fruits is at your own risk, and no liability is assumed for accidents. It's crucial to treat the trees and surroundings with care during the picking process, ensuring they are not damaged.

The Yellow Ribbon initiative not only offers a unique opportunity to enjoy local fruits but also aims to raise awareness about the care and preservation of orchards. By preventing fruits from rotting in the fields, the initiative contributes to preserving biodiversity in the county's cultural landscape.

In addition, the county's garden advisory service and the OGV county association have been promoting the care and preservation of orchards through advice and events for years. The "pick-your-own" trees have been marked with a yellow ribbon for three years in cooperation between the organization, OGV county association, and the county's garden advisory service.

So, this summer, why not embark on a fruits-filled adventure in Regensburg County? With over 700 trees waiting to be picked, there's no shortage of opportunities to enjoy the region's bounty. Happy picking!
