Join Aktionsbündnis Unterer Neckar in Heidelberg

Join Aktionsbündnis Unterer Neckar in Heidelberg Aktionsbündnis Unterer Neckar (AUN) is a NABU, BUND, LNV, and neighbour alliance for the last living floodplain stretch of the Neckar. Groups from Heidelberg, Mannheim, Ilvesheim, and Ladenburg share news, dam-care notes, and site walks. This is floodplain stewardship, not a sponge-unsealing group. What you can do - Read the AUN programme page and contact the speakers - Join a monthly alliance evening (in 2026 many nights are online via Zoom; confirm the format) - Walk the named nature reserves along the lower Neckar when the group announces a Begehung How it works The alliance formed in 2015. Coordinator Regine Buyer keeps the information flow between local groups. Solarpunker does not host the Zoom room or the Welthaus table: check the organiser before you travel. Why it matters A living Neckar floodplain needs people who show up for kingfishers, little-ringed plovers, and high-water space at the same time.

Walk the lower Neckar floodplain with AUN

Walk the lower Neckar floodplain with AUN The alliance names six nature reserves along the lower Neckar, including Altneckar Heidelberg-Wieblingen. Site walks (Begehungen) are how neighbours learn dam care, flow, and floodplain mosaic on the ground. What you can do - Watch the AUN page for the next announced walk - Meet the group at the listed reserve rather than inventing your own path - Bring binoculars if you have them: kingfisher and great-crested grebe are regular floodplain neighbours How it works Walks are announced with the monthly programme. This is not a standing weekly shift. When & where Seasonal / by announcement. Approximate pin on the Heidelberg Neckar meadows (Neuenheim riverside): 49.4146, 8.6925. Confirm the reserve and meeting point with AUN. Why it matters Seeing the floodplain on foot turns a policy alliance into a place you can care for.
