The public sector in Baden-Württemberg currently operates seven nature conservation centers . The facilities should look after the associated protected areas together with the nature conservation administration, participate in maintenance measures and inform the population with exhibitions and events. They are operated by foundations in which the federal state, districts, cities, municipalities and associations are involved. They also receive funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development . The respective higher nature conservation authority takes over the technical supervision and the representation in the foundation council .

For schoolchildren and young people, the nature conservation centers offer around 2000 events a year with around 30,000 participants.
