With over 260 events in Baden-Württemberg, it is clear how important it is to get people – especially children and families – excited about nature.

Another aspect that the Nature education What comes into play is early exposure to natural environments. This not only promotes environmental awareness, but also social skills and the development of conscience in children, starting from the age of 6. Children who are actively involved in nature develop a passion for conservation and learn to take individual responsibility in a global context.

However, a good knack for the right support is required so that nature education can be implemented effectively. Well-trained nature guides and regular training are crucial to ensuring that the quality of the offerings remains high and that environmental and nature conservation concerns are anchored in the future generation.

The Nature Experience Day in Gotha is not just an opportunity to have fun in nature. It also offers the opportunity to make children and adults alike aware of nature that is worth protecting and to awaken interest in environmental protection. Come by and be inspired!
