We bring nature into the classroom

- or take the class out into nature. Whether it's class camps, interdisciplinary project weeks on the school's own grounds, or one-day nature experiences: Our programs bring the class outdoors and combine practical nature conservation with action-oriented learning. Students experience nature up close and get involved.

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! 🌿

Neophytes – friend or foe?

To kick off summer, we're off to the Thurauen meadows, a vibrant area. This isn't just a paradise for native flora and fauna; it's also home to neophytes. With the right team spirit, however, they're quickly removed and used to make an anti-inflammatory ointment.✨
