Actions in cities for orchards and permanent gardens labeled as 'Net Valley for the Climate'
In the picturesque city of Nettetal, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, an exciting competition has been announced. Known as "Nettetal for the Climate," this initiative is a new step forward in the city's ongoing efforts towards sustainability and climate protection.
The competition invites citizens, schools, kindergartens, and associations to participate with projects that focus on climate and environmental protection. Projects can range from creating insect-friendly gardens to installing heat pumps and photovoltaic systems, or even devising creative actions for climate protection. Applications for this competition can be submitted via the city of Nettetal's participation portal.
The competition is not related to the city's municipal orchards or perennial beds, which are found at various locations throughout the city. These green spaces not only contribute to the cityscape with their colorful, insect-friendly plant mixtures, but they also provide important habitats for insects and birds, contributing to active species protection within the city.
The perennial beds, part of the city's efforts towards sustainability and biodiversity, are a key component of Nettetal's green infrastructure. They are found at many locations throughout the city, enhancing the cityscape and promoting biodiversity.
Interested participants have until August 31, 2025, to submit their applications for the competition. Cash prizes of up to 2,000 euros will be awarded to winners. For more information and registration, visit beteiligung.nrw.de/portal/nettetal/beteiligung/themen/1013119.
For those who wish to explore the city's municipal orchards, an overview map of their locations and usage rules is available on the city's website. Citizens are also welcome to use these orchards, which contribute to the city's biodiversity efforts.
In conclusion, the "Nettetal for the Climate" competition is a fantastic opportunity for the city's residents to contribute to the city's sustainability and climate protection efforts. Whether you're a school, kindergarten, association, or individual, your creative and innovative ideas are needed to help make Nettetal a greener and more sustainable city.
