Regional offices

Many of our projects are carried out from our regional offices: Regional office Valais (Sion), Regional office Ticino (Contone), Regional office Grisons (Chur), Regional office northeastern Switzerland (Schaffhausen) and Regional office Romandie (Yverdon-les-Bains). Together with partners and volunteers, they take care of habitat improvement projects and impact monitoring, as well as applied research issues on a case-by-case basis.
