Impacting local fauna and biodiversity
Postomino Solar Park is located in the northern part of Poland. The solar park delivers more than green energy. It also offers a home to quite a few bugs and beetles. Increasing biodiversity and preserving micro habitats can have substantial impact on local fauna. We appreciate all the little neighbours contributing to support nature and biodiversity in the area.
Opportunity to support spectacular wildlife
When we developed the Postomino Solar Park there was an opportunity to maintain and restore existing microhabitats. With the aim of boosting conditions for local plants and animals, we implemented nature initiatives in the park near a small lake and adjacent woodland area.
Home to hundreds of species
We undertook a post-construction nature inventory of Postomino to determine the site's true impact on wildlife. The inventory identified 225 species. Among them were multiple species of wasps, beetles, mushrooms, butterflies, arachnids, and amphibians. This includes several rare and protected species. The number of birds have increased as well as they feed from the variety of insects and appearance of seeds in the area.
