Landscape Auction
 

The IBM team has organised or is in the process of organizing the following Landscape Auctions:


2010

Lake Constance (Bodensee)

In October 2010, in collaboration with the Bodensee Stiftung another Landscape Auction on the German side of Lake Constance will be organized. The Landscape Auction is part of the EU Business and Biodiversity Campaign in which Triple E participates.  During this campaign, Triple E will organize Landscape Auctions in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. 

 

Friesland

In collaboration with Landschapsbeheer Friesland (Landscape conservation Friesland) Triple E will organize a Landscape Auction in September  in Friesland, the first in this province. More information coming soon! We can already reveal that it will be about the decoys that adorn the Frisian landscape.  

 

Vermont (click to go to the website)
 

Triple E is working with the White River Partnership, USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service and U.S. Forestry Service at the first big Landscape Auction event  of North America. Families and businesses are offered the opportunity to participate in unique landscape features, all focused on the beauty of the landscape of Vermont. Articles about the Landscape Auction have been published in many newspapers and the Landscape Auction will receive attention from around the U.S. There are 12 private landowners along in the Landscape Auction and thus  buffer zones along the river, the release of salmon and much more interesting and distinctive elements will be under the hammer. 

 

North Carolina

During the third annual conference on ecosystem services in North Carolina (3rd annual ecosystem markets conference) on June 24 2010 a Landscape Auction is held in conjunction with the White River Partnership from Vermont. With this auction, the Landscape Auction is shown  to a wide audience of conservationists and government officials from around the U.S. There is great interest in the applicability of the instrument in this country. During the Landscape Auction,  landscape elements of Vermont are on offer. It is in this state that Triple E along with the White River Partnership is organizing the first  Landscape Auction in the U.S. in August 2010. 

 

2011

In 2011 Triple E will organize a grand Landscape Auction during the SusCon event in Nuremberg where the focus will be on the involvement of the participating companies. The organization of SusCon has therefore decided after the successful teaser Landscape Auction early June 2010.

In 2011 there will also be a Landscape Auction organized during the German CSR Forum (Forum EnviComm). Besides these events there will be many more in the Netherlands and beyond!
