60 Maciej Podyma Fundacja Laka Mission Fundacja Łąka identifies two main issues affecting Poland’s’ natural resources: Urbanization’s negative impact on biodiversity Grass lawns monoculture’s dominance in Poland city-areas. This initiative thus seeks to boost biodiversity while also counteracting the devastation of natural resources. Rather than using monoculture lawns, not regulating air, water, and soil quality, Fundacja Łąka pushes for a more natural solution; the growth of beautiful and bio-diverse flower meadows in city centers, near roads, and on brownfields. Fundacja Łąka looksAA at the natural qualities of wildflower meadows because of their unique properties to increase biodiversity and counteract natural resource devastation. Impact & 4 returns Inspiration Fundacja Łąka noticed the potential where no one else saw it. “Green carpet” lawns are the default landscaping choice, but it is not beneficial to nature and humans. The initiative thus started the Social Capital Fundacja Łąka enables non-gardeners to contribute to the environment by teaching them to set up meadows by themselves. Natural Capital Financial Capital Fundacja Łąka boosts biodiversity and counteracts the devastation of natural resources. Instead of monoculture lawns, we set up beautiful and biodiverse flower meadows in urbanized areas to help regulate air, water, and soil quality. The foundation created a whole branch of landscaping services that didn’t exist before. It needs special know-how, but technically it is not overly complicated. Work can be outsourced in many ways (seed contracting, new job opportunities), even to socially excluded communities. Parts of the financing comes from municipalities, which often provide a stable income.
