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.

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! 🌿

A week full of energy dedicated to nature: Combating invasive species creates new habitats. The children experience the fruits of their labor on an excursion through the light forest in the Thurauen meadows.🌳 One living highlight is the marbled white butterfly.🦋

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!

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. 🌳✨

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.✨

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!

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.🐹🐇

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! 🌸🦋
