Martin Sageder

Martin Sageder is a convinced practitioner of staggered meadow cultivation. With this management concept, he is able to reconcile both ecological and economic challenges. He takes a quarter to a third of the grassland completely out of fertilisation and only mows it twice, with the first cut only taking place towards the end of June. In this way, he creates a habitat for ground-nesting birds and butterflies on these areas. He uses the remaining areas more intensively. In the forest, Martin Sageder favours plenter management with a focus on natural regeneration and has already been awarded the Upper Austrian Forest Prize for this.
