Our research indicate that Ven looked so for 2000 years ago. Ecolanum aims at "rewilding" and re-establishing the original flora and landscape. |
Studying the accounts of the Ven's landscape for 400 years ago we could create the following approximation of the landscape in the eastern part of Ven. see photos below. The trees were cut some times ago and the area of our mark was covered marshes and swamps, grass and bushes. The land was not suitable for agriculture. |

our "ecological footprint" |
|
|
|
In June we have celebrated a 5 years anniversary at the current location.
June 2017, the truck with plants is boarding ferry to Ven, The island of
Ven is visible at the horizon. we have moved with our plants from Vienna/Austria to Ven/Sweden in June 2017 For the sake of an experiment we try to be as self-sustained as possible. As we are not generating any income we need to use financial resources from USA in order to subsidize the development phase which when accomplished should minimize needs of the external resources. Our objective is to operate on a non-profit basis. |
