Park & products labels
The green square
The «Swiss Parks» label can be awarded to parks but also to products and services.
The park label
If a park meets all the requirements, it is awarded the «Park of National Importance» label by the Swiss Confederation. This label is valid for 10 years, after which the park management must apply for a new one.
The label «Park of National Importance» guarantees:
- the preservation and care of the natural and cultural landscapes in the park
- the park's long-term financial and spatial viability
- a basic-democratic (grass roots) legitimisation
- a professional management
During their establishment phase, future parks receive the «Candidate» label on request.
