A unique project managed by the Restoration Ecology group. It hosts rare plants and insects which are bound to declining natural sand habitats. The dune is accessible only from the side with shallow slope. Little disturbances are allowed (and mostly welcome), but deep digging or disturbance of the steep side harms the habitat.

Near the compost and student vegetable patches stands a small monument featuring a bronze apple core, dedicated to Jára Cimrman, the famous fictional Czech genius and discoverer. According to local lore, he dropped the apple core here, thereby establishing the tradition of composting - one of his many world-changing discoveries.

A little lake was built near the sand dune to support local biodiversity.

Wooden arbour was built by students and teacher of the faculty at a carpenter course led by Robert Malý.

The insect hotel was established and is maintained by Jan Erhart from the Parasitology Institute BC.

The vegetable patches can be used by studnents and employees of the Faculty of Science to grow their own vegetables or other plants, especially those living in dormitory or the neighbouring blocks of flats. The places for individual people are assigned in early spring by Majka Šmilauerová and Klára Řehounková, whom you should contact with your claims. Please, do not harvest vegetable grown by others.
