Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen District. With its inaugural meeting on June 23, 2026, the 10th Nature Conservation Advisory Board at the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen District Office began its work for the new five-year term. District Administrator Ludwig Schmid presented the five members and their alternates with their letters of appointment and thanked them for their volunteer work in the service of nature conservation and landscape management.

“The Nature Conservation Advisory Board makes a valuable contribution to the preservation of the natural and cultural landscape in the district. Its expert advice and constructive dialogue are key elements in striking a balanced compromise between nature conservation, land use, and social development,” emphasized District Administrator Schmid.

The newly appointed Nature Conservation Advisory Board consists of the following members:

  • Joachim Kaschek (Isartalverein), Alternate: Gregor Baumert (nature educator)
  • Maria Meixner (Wolfratshausen Forest Owners' Association), Alternate: Joachim Strobel (ZUK Nature Conservation Center)
  • Wolfgang Morlang (Bavarian Hunting Association), Alternate: Udo Steinhörster (Upper Bavaria State Fishing Association)
  • Walter Wintersberger (State Association for Bird and Nature Conservation), Alternate: Friedl Krönauer (Nature Conservation Association)
  • Benedikt Zangl (Bavarian Farmers' Association), Alternate: Hans Schwaiger (Upper Bavarian Alpine Farming Association)


The Nature Conservation Advisory Board supports the Lower Nature Conservation Authority in making important decisions regarding nature conservation and landscape management. The board is composed of expert representatives from various fields relevant to nature conservation and contributes its expertise to the assessment and oversight of nature conservation issues. In addition, the Advisory Board has a legally enshrined right to participate in the drafting of regulations, as well as in official permits and individual orders of fundamental importance within the jurisdiction of the Nature Conservation Authority.

As the meeting proceeded, the Nature Conservation Advisory Board discussed several current projects in the district. Items on the agenda included the planned construction of an animal-welfare-compliant young cattle barn on the outskirts of a landscape conservation area, as well as two applications from Stadtwerke Bad Tölz. As part of a site visit, the committee also inspected two projects involving extensive natural monuments in Bad Tölz and provided expert advice.

With the start of the new term, the Nature Conservation Advisory Board will continue its mission of supporting the nature conservation authority with independent technical expertise, thereby making an important contribution to the preservation of the diverse natural and cultural landscape in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district.
