Take action for nature
Nature conservation succeeds when many people get involved: That's why we actively involve the public. This not only creates greater impact for nature but also raises awareness in society.
Craft and nature experiences for apprentices
Past projects
Trail maintenance in the Ticino autumn forest
Restoring paths together, stacking stones, clearing leaves – and then roasting chestnuts over a fire: The school class from Ticino experienced a day where work, play, and nature went hand in hand. A day in the forest that brought people together – and clearly brought joy to everyone.
AXA helps the bell frog with bricks and piles of branches
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.
With heart and hand to a vibrant school grounds
A week brimming with energy and enthusiasm: The 6th grade class at Weinberg-Turner School created shelters for bats, hedgehogs, and antlions. Each exciting project was documented by the film crew and presented in an impressive final film. Through play and engagement, the children experienced firsthand how biodiversity develops and transformed their school grounds into a vibrant habitat. Proud and motivated, they made a tangible statement about nature, teamwork, and responsibility. A truly memorable highlight to end the school year!
A snake for biodiversity
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! 🌿
With saw and pruning shears to the Wiesel Villa
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.🐹🐇
A barrier is brought to life
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.
