V. (Society for Forest Education) accompanied the primary school in Altenholz. Susanne Simpson is keen to organize more events in Schleswig-Holstein. Anyone who is interested please contact us! Here is Susanne’s report.
  2. On 9th October 2009 teacher and experienced campaign guide Dagmar Kropp, 23 first year secondary school pupils and forester Michael Durst were really able to sow a small new forest in Bruchsal, unlike last year. Here is Dagmar’s report.
  3. On 28th October 2009 campaign guide Jörg Busch and about 80 pupils from classes 1 and 2 of the primary school in Jübek (District Schleswig-Holstein) carried out a Squirrel Forest Campaign event. Beech nuts and acorns were to be sown over an area of about 3000 square metres. Here is Jörg’s report.
  4. On 30th October, 4th and 5th November 2009 pupils from forms 2,3 and 4 of the 'Freie Waldorfschule Evinghausen" went to the woods with regional forester, Helga Scholz, and played the squirrel game - in the real sense of the word! Here is Helga's report.
  5. On the 9th and 13th November both campaign guides Ilona Boesel and Sabine Zimmermann, together with district forester Parsiegla and 15 children respectively from the primary schools in Rangdorf and Dabendorf set off on a squirrel puzzle hike in Jühnsdorf district forest (see report).
  6. On 19th November 2009 campaign guide and forest educator in the Forestry Office Michelstadt/Odenwald Jürgen Maul, forest officer Ulrich Weiß and 3 classes from the Bad König primary school carried out a Squirrel Forest Campaign event in great style! Some of the coniferous stands had been damaged by bark and wood boring beetles, so the children gathered acorns and beechnuts to plant in the gaps. A trip in a covered wagon for everyone taking part was also part of the event. Here’s Jürgen Maul’s impressive report!
