The mission statement of the Biosphere Park Grosses Walsertal was drawn up on the initiative of the Regional Planning Association Grosses Walsertal together with the population of the valley. More than 60 enthusiastic valley-dwellers worked together in workshops to formulate goals for the coming five years. The mission statement was presented to the public as part of a big biosphere park party.

In November 2003 the revision and updating of the mission statement was completed by working groups from the REGIO committees. The mission statement was extended with the EMAS environment and sustainability policy.

The logo for the biosphere park was developed and selected via a painting competition held in the valley’s schools. Drawing in the students from the schools of the Grosses Walsertal area in this way has made a significant contribution to anchoring the biosphere park firmly within the regional population.
