The »Stadtwildnis« Project

Experiencing Nature in the Heart of the City

The association gives children and young people a distinctive experience of nature in the heart of the city. Group excursions invite them to discover the beauty of nature close to the urban environment. These excursions are not just about observing animals and plants; they also offer an opportunity to understand and appreciate the importance of natural habitats.

The project receives funding through Revierpionier, a programme of the Land Sachsen-Anhalt.

Community and Discovery

In a relaxed and playful atmosphere, participants learn about both the diversity of nature and the value of community and solidarity. Shared activities such as picnics and recreational games strengthen the sense of belonging and encourage respectful treatment of the environment.

Supporting Environmental Education

The Stadtwildnis project makes an important contribution to environmental education for children and young people. By experiencing and exploring nature first-hand, they develop an awareness of ecological relationships and learn to take responsibility for the environment. This holistic approach not only conveys knowledge but also supports personal development and environmental awareness.

Hands-On Nature Education

The excursions are led by experienced educators who help participants experience nature with all their senses. Practical exercises and games encourage children and young people to get involved and actively shape their natural surroundings. This creates a memorable experience that not only conveys knowledge but also sparks enthusiasm for nature.

Conclusion

The association’s Stadtwildnis project offers children and young people the chance to discover nature in the city in an entirely new way. Group excursions, shared activities and hands-on nature education teach environmental knowledge while fostering a sense of community and environmental awareness. A project with lasting benefits that helps the next generation appreciate the beauty and importance of nature.
