Nature workshops and seminars for children and young people are organzied under the motto "You can only protect what you know!" (in German: "Man schützt nur was man kennt"). Presentations are given on the activities of mountain and park rangers, conservation of native flora and fauna and the issue of environmental pollution. Nature seminars, where participants venture outside, equipped with magnifying glasses, teach about native and non-native plants and animals. A garbage bag is always taken along to encourage the children to pick up any rubbish they come across. The vision of this project is to remind all generations in today's competitive performance society that only a healthy environment can sustain us. It is personal experiences and close encounters that transform peoples behavior towards nature and create positive attitudes for the future.
