We'll be in the forest

For 20 years, the municipal children and youth development department of the city of Salzgitter has been offering a varied forest education program. Children and young people explore their environment, get to know the wilderness in the forest, explore life in the meadow and in near-natural areas in the city.

Experience the forest and wilderness

Experiencing nature with children and families is a project of the city of Salzgitter, funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. Together with their family center, children and their parents discover the forest, explore the life of animals and carefully collect the fruits of the forest.

The educational forest activities are primarily aimed at family centers in Salzgitter. School classes, kindergarten groups, KiTa teams and children's birthday parties in the forest are also offered. The activities in Salzgitter are free of charge.

The offers are varied and depend on the wishes of the group and the seasonal conditions. Collecting and processing herbs, getting to know trees, finding mushrooms, recognizing animal tracks are just a few examples.

Special topics can include activities for mothers or father-child activities. Forest bathing also takes place regularly as a balance to stressful everyday life. A picnic together or a campfire round off the forest day.
