The location:

For our last planting action in the Canton of Zurich in 2025, we will team up  with a group of students and teachers from the Inter-Community School Zurich. We will plant about 20 native trees and bushes in a private residential property, which runs along the edge of a beech (Fagus sylvatica) forest. The owner will be responsible for the upkeep of the new plants.

Besides the planting, the students will also create an “habitat pile” with branches.  With these plants and new structures, we can enrich the transition the forest and the adjacent area, creating additional food and shelter areas for different species of birds, insects and other animals – all this without affecting the current usage.

The activity provides the group with a good hands-on learning experience, showing how the urban-forest interface can be shaped for different purposes.
