Red List launch excursion in Ardez

Start of the search for rare and endan­gered species

This year’s Graubün­den Red List kick-off event starts in Ardez. From there, we will radi­ate out in all direc­tions and search specif­i­cal­ly for endan­gered plant species at pre­vi­ous­ly known loca­tions.

With a bit of luck, we may dis­cov­er species such as the low tra­ga­canth(Astra­galus depres­sus) or thepin­nate-leaved vio­let(Vio­la pin­na­ta). There is also the chance to observe the first flow­er­ing spec­i­mens of the rare Aus­tri­an drag­on’s head(Dra­co­cephalum aus­tri­acum).

Reg­is­tra­tion dead­line: May 14, 2026.

Insur­ance cov­er dur­ing the event is the respon­si­bil­i­ty of the par­tic­i­pants.

The registration deadline has expired.
