## Questions and Answers

 
### What is an action plan and/or description?

 

* You can draw small measures yourself. The important thing is that we can recognise your idea. This helps us:
* Location in the urban area (drawing in an aerial photograph)
* Information on types, materials, techniques etc. used in the plan
* Size details in the plan
* Example [action plan](https://stadt.muenchen.de/dam/jcr:91403d56-832b-46aa-9f59-0936b2330a99/Foerderprogramm%20Bsp%20Massnahmenplan.jpg)
   
### Who can help me with the planning?

 

The [biodiversity advisory](https://stadt.muenchen.de/service/info/sachgebiet-fachaufgaben-biodiversitaet/10414028/) service will be happy to advise you.

For more extensive projects, it may make sense to commission specialist planners. This can be financed proportionally via the funding programme. If you are unsure, ask our biodiversity advisory service.

   
### How do I prove the total costs?

 

you must enclose three comparative offers with your application. If you only receive one offer from three providers, this will also sufficein conjunction with the documentation of your two other requests for proposals.

Our offer for you: To ensure that the three offers are as comparable as possible, we will be happy to develop a list of services together with you. You can use this to invite three companies or providers to submit a tender.

  


   
### Can I specify my own labour costs?

 

we can charge you €12.15 for simple labour or €14.15 for more complex work. You must state this in your application with an hourly estimate. With your proof of utilisation, you must submit the actual hours spent in a comprehensibly documented manner.  


   
### Do I have to pay in advance?

 

yes, we will generally reimburse 50% of the costs incurred. To do this, you must submit a where-used list with all invoices. You will receive a template for the proof of utilisation together with your confirmation of inspection for your application.  


   
### Which plant species are subsidised?

 

* In principle, all species originating from Munich[(area of origin 16](https://www.lfu.bayern.de/natur/bayaz/artenschutz_pflanzen/gehoelze_saatgut/saatgut_produktion/index.htm) or [area of occurrence 6.1.](https://www.lfu.bayern.de/natur/bayaz/artenschutz_pflanzen/gehoelze_saatgut/gehoelze/index.htm)) are eligible for funding.
* Due to the different location requirements of the species, it may be that not all species are suitable for your project. We would be happy to look at the desired species and your area for your specific project together with you. Please contact us before submitting your application.
