Walk and meet with NABU Gelsenkirchen

Walk and meet with NABU Gelsenkirchen NABU Stadtverband Gelsenkirchen (founded 2004) points neighbours to Ruhr slag-heap and industrial-nature habitats through public talks and walks, plus open Thursday evenings at Margaretenhof 10-12. The 2026 list is talks and walks, not a named habitat work day. Do not invent one. What you can do - Open NABU Gelsenkirchen for the current 2026 talks and walks - Come to an open Thursday meeting at the Alfred-Zingler-Haus - Walk industrial-nature sites when a listed excursion names a trailhead (for example Emscherbruch) How it works Indoor Thursdays and outdoor walks alternate on the organiser calendar. Check the next date rather than assuming a standing work crew. Why it matters Halden and old industrial ground in Gelsenkirchen already host surprising wildlife. Walking and meeting is how more residents find those rooms.
