Cities are extending Schattenwege (shade routes), depaving yards, and co-designing green corners with residents. What you can do - Walk a municipal Schattenweg route and suggest the next link (Esslingen extends its shade path each summer) - Join participation formats for new neighbourhood green (for example FairFuture co-design in Hamburg-Veddel) - Support local Flächenentsiegelung projects that swap paving for planting (Recklinghausen Hitzeschutzbündnis model) Why it matters Every square metre unsealed is a small air conditioner the whole neighborhood shares, biodiversity and comfort in one intervention.shade routeSchattenwegunsealing +2
Programme nearbyRewildingBochumVisit and tend the Wattenscheid Tiny Forest in BochumVisit and tend the Wattenscheid Tiny Forest in Bochum Tiny Forest Friends and Stadt Bochum planted a Miyawaki-style mini-forest in Wattenscheid in mid-March 2026 on a former works yard at Stadtgartenring / Parkstraße. The first three years need watering and care so the stand can later look after itself. Confirm current public care days with the initiative and the city. What you can do - Follow Tiny Forest Friends for watering and care notes - Visit the unsealed yard at Stadtgartenring / Parkstraße, 44866 Bochum-Wattenscheid - Ask before organising a volunteer group: the city holds formal care, and the friends group still watches the trees How it works Planted March 2026 with pupils, residents, and a garden firm. Summer 2026 heat made watering a live topic. Do not invent extra public work days; check the organiser. Why it matters A pocket forest on a former sealed yard is a neighbourhood climate and habitat experiment you can walk to.forestunsealingtrees +1
Programme nearbyRewildingLudwigshafenGarden the unsealed museum plaza in LudwigshafenGarden the unsealed museum plaza in Ludwigshafen Since 2012 the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum has turned the former sealed Hans-Klüber-Platz behind the museum into hack-museumsgARTen: crates, recycled planters, and free bed sponsorships in the middle of Ludwigshafen (PLZ 67xxx). What you can do - Take a free Beetpatenschaft on the hack-museumsgARTen page - Join a Gartentreff (last Thursday, and from May the second Friday, 18:00) in the April to October season - Garden as a household, Kita, school, or club: the plaza is built for mixed groups How it works The museum, anstiftung, BASF SE, and city partners host the plaza. You do not need a ticket to garden. Solarpunker does not assign beds: the museum garden team does. Why it matters Unsealing a museum square puts flowers, herbs, and neighbours on the same paving stones that used to shed rain.gardenunsealingplaza +1
