Join NABU Ruhr biotope work days in Essen

Join NABU Ruhr biotope work days in Essen NABU Regionalverband Ruhr invites neighbours to practical nature care on its Essen sites: wet meadows, water margins, and the Haarzopf and Oefte fields. This is meadow and shoreline tending, not an Emscher unsealing crew. What you can do - Book a Saturday work morning via Arbeitseinsätze Essen - Help cut, rake, and keep wet meadows and water edges open for plants and amphibians - Ask the practical-nature group for the current Lageplan and meeting point How it works Work mornings usually run on Saturday from 09:00 to about 11:00 or 12:00. Register by phone (0201 7100699) or email ag-naturschutz(at)nabu-ruhr.de. Solarpunker does not run the days: the NABU group sets tools, wet-weather plans, and which field you visit. Why it matters A few hours on a wet meadow keeps Ruhr habitats mosaic-rich so frogs, flowers, and people can share the same edges.

What you can do - Confirm the next Saturday on Arbeitseinsätze Essen - Bring sturdy shoes; the group names tools and the exact field - Follow the Lageplan for the Haarzopf parcel if that is the day's site How it works Seasonal Saturday pattern, not a single 2026 calendar date. Ask the organiser which meadow is on for the coming weekend. When & where Recurring Saturdays, about 09:00 to 11:00 or 12:00. Meeting details and the Haarzopf Lageplan are on the NABU Ruhr page.
