The botanical working group and the moor-and-heath circle care for rare heath remnants, industrial-nature sites such as Brache Vondern, and a herbarium shown in the STAUN visitor centre. What you can do - Join the monthly botanic evening at Haus Ripshorst via Botanische Arbeitsgemeinschaft - Ask about heath cuts and Brache Vondern field days - Walk the Ripshorst grounds in the summer half-year when the group runs plant excursions How it works Indoor monthly meeting plus seasonal outdoor plant work. Confirm the next heath or brache date with NABU Oberhausen. Why it matters Ruhr industrial nature is already wild in places. Naming plants and cutting heath keeps that mosaic readable for the next neighbour.heathindustrial-natureplants +1
Programme nearbyRewildingGelsenkirchenWalk and meet with NABU GelsenkirchenWalk 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.walkmeetingindustrial-nature +1
