The GFN mbH, founded in 1993, is a renowned planning office with a strong focus on environmental, nature, and resource protection. With its headquarters in Molfsee and another branch in Husum, the company covers a wide range of planning-related fields nationwide.

The GFN mbH specializes in the collection and assessment of landscape ecological baseline data, impact assessments, nature conservation legal project support, as well as landscape planning and research. Over the past three decades, the company has created numerous nature conservation legal approval documents for various infrastructure projects such as road construction, dike construction, wind power, and energy lines. In addition, the GFN mbH processes multi-year research projects and produces biological expert contributions that cover nearly all relevant animal and plant groups[5].

The GFN mbH supports project and decision-makers from various industries as well as authorities in the proper implementation of projects and plans. The company is characterized by its reliability, experience, innovative capability, and timely work approach. The focus is on knowledgeable and comprehensive support, which is ensured by a dedicated team of over 190 employees, primarily from the fields of biology, geography, landscape development, geoecology, and landscape planning[2][5].

The GFN mbH is deeply rooted in environmental and nature conservation planning and is committed to sustainable solutions. Through its long-standing activity, the company has developed a special qualification in the methodological foundations of impact regulation. The employees of the GFN mbH continuously work to improve and expand nature conservation inventory and assessment as well as landscape planning. This is done in close collaboration with authorities and offices, taking into account all relevant state laws, guidelines, and work instructions[5].

Since early December 2021, the GFN mbH has organized its fields of work into thematic specialist areas, coordinated by experienced department heads. Following the departure of co-founder and former managing director Dipl. Biol. Christof Martin in 2022, the company is led by the two managing directors Dipl. Biol. Christoph Herden and Dipl. Biol. Jörg Rassmus. Mr. Martin continues to support the company with advice and assistance as needed[5].

Thus, the GFN mbH is a reliable partner in all planning related to nature and landscape, offering sustainable and innovative solutions through its comprehensive expertise and dedicated team.
