A decorated robber's den, robber stories around the campfire and maybe a real robber.

How does a tree fall, why do we need such large machines and what becomes of the trunk? In a demonstration with machines and foresters, we want to give young and old citizens an understanding of the work in the forest. Afterwards, a trunk can be delimbed with the chainsaw.

A tree is felled with our HSM, it is held out on site (tree species, length, diameter and numbered) and its further use is explained. Questions about tree biology are clarified, what it needs to grow and why exactly it was intended for felling. Forestry technology topics are discussed, how does a chainsaw work, why are the machine's tires so big, what does personal protective equipment mean, how is a rescue chain organized.

Children are very welcome to sit in the HSM. At the end there will be a delimbing game.

Sowing with the jay - we help the forest to rejuvenate itself.

A school class is divided into (maximum) groups of four.

• Construction of a jay table in group work
• Set up at a suitable location, preferably in a cleared damaged area, on a post or stump at a height of at least 1.50 meters
• Collect acorns together in a jute sack or bucket
• Equipping the jay table

We meet in the Kohlhecker Forest at the forestry office building and collect acorns in the adjacent forest. If you like, bring your own bucket. The collected seeds are needed in the Wiesbaden municipal forest to increase the proportion of climate-stable oak trees. Please do not bring any acorns, only the seeds collected on this day may be used!

• Public transport line 4, stop Kuckucksweg or Waldviertel, from there about 450 meters walk to the forestry office
• Parking spaces at Langendellschlag
• Toilets at the forestry office/warehouse
• not barrier-free

With brushwood and natural materials from the city forest, you can give free rein to your creativity and make wreaths, arrangements and much more. Please bring your own straw wreath, branch shears and wire.

A candle-lit path with a winter story and a campfire at the end. A contemplative, peaceful walk as a contrast to the often hectic pre-Christmas period. Suitable for children and adults.
