In the mixed September weather, a class from Reinach, Canton of Basel-Landschaft, cuts its way through the willow islands in the Robenhauserried fen. Drop by drop of sweat, the moor is saved from bush encroachment over the course of a week. Fortified with mushroom nuggets, the young architects create new habitats for weasels and other wildlife.🐹🐇

Despite stormy weather, 10 motivated Econis AG employees got to work at Kloster Fahr: planting 300 plants for a biodiversity-promoting hedge! 🌱💪 After completing the work and gaining fascinating insights into ecological relationships, the day concluded with a cozy get-together in the fondue parlor.

Ende Mai packten die engagierten Schüler:innen der Kanti Rychenberg in Winterthur kräftig mit an. Im Rahmen des Impact Days von myblueplanet widmeten sie sich dem Bau einer Benjeshecke und schufen geschützte Unterschlüpfe für Igel. Mit Ästen, Sträuchern und viel Teamgeist entstanden wertvolle Strukturen, die Tieren neuen Lebensraum bieten. Ein erfolgreicher Tag, der zeigt: Jeder Einsatz zählt für die Natur!

Supported by the Altberg-Lägern Forestry Department, students from the University Hospital of Zurich fought against the invasive cherry laurel. They removed the plants, learned about the spread of invasive species through games, and observed impressive felling operations. With knowledge, team spirit, and full dedication, they made a valuable contribution to protecting the forest. 🌳✨

26 employees of AXA Switzerland rolled up their sleeves and got to work: on a traditional orchard meadow at Taggenberg, they collected freshly mown hay by hand to promote biodiversity. At Maienried, they built brick structures as wintering sites for the rare bell frog, expanded wood piles as shelters, and cleared vegetation from ponds.

The sleet is taking its toll on the blackberries. Instead, the forest is getting new residents in the form of native shrubs and trees. With gritted teeth and wet feet, Microsoft employees are braving the weather and creating a natural oasis right next to the runway at Zurich Airport.

Seven SAP employees planted 110 deciduous trees to strengthen the wind resistance of a forest. With spades and a lot of effort, they dug holes, planted seedlings, and installed grazing barriers. Accompanied by insights into the impact of bark beetles, the project contributed to creating a more resilient mixed forest and greater ecosystem diversity.

Today, it's not the goats🐐 and cattle🐃 that protect our forests from the darkness, but the employees of Schröder Investments. Strengthened after a meal by the cozy fire, the picks are swung once again. Togetherness and joy enable a great result, bringing satisfaction to both people and nature.

Loaded with 600 roof tiles, we headed to the Looren School in Maur. There, a motivated class created a biodiversity hotspot in the shape of a brick snake. Bricks were laid, 22 tons of gravel were shoveled, and the figure was planted with wild perennials and grasses. The snake now provides a home for reptiles and wild bees—a project full of dedication and success! 🌿

Four days, 40 employees, 300 plants: The Sika team ecologically enhanced the site along the Limmat River! With a 100-meter-long hedge and a species-rich gravel area, they created new habitats for animals. Tired but proud – a tremendous effort!

Colorful diversity in the Sihlwald forest! Eight school classes from Muri, with great team spirit, created new habitats for butterflies and orchids. They even discovered the rare door snail—a complete success for nature! 🌸🦋

Together for nature! 20 motivated volunteers from the Eden Roc Hotel freed Tegna from the invasive lucky palm. A feat of strength for the forest, which visibly recovered – a nature experience with visible success and a well-deserved conclusion! 🌱
