What are the names of the birds and trees I see in the park and why are they here? Where does our food actually come from? What can I make from natural materials? What does it mean to live or work sustainably? Campus Stadt Natur has set itself the goal of providing answers to all these questions.
Actively shaping environmental and species protection
Everyone is talking about the environment, sustainability and species conservation. At the Campus Stadt Natur locations, we make these topics tangible and give interested parties and participants in our events and activities the tools they need to live more consciously. The parks and experiential spaces of Campus Stadt Natur are the perfect place for this: They are home to naturally formed biotopes, an unrivalled diversity of plants - and they are home to endangered livestock breeds that graze the land and are bred to ensure their survival.
Learning to live sustainably and in a climate-friendly way
Campus Stadt Natur raises awareness of the (urban) nature that surrounds us with themed workshops, guided tours, training courses, exhibitions and a wide range of activities. The users of our offers gain an insight into current discourses in the areas of environment and climate, we explain complex interrelationships in dialogue and show how environmental protection and nature conservation lead to an improvement in the quality of life. Together on Campus Stadt Natur, we are working towards a more liveable, climate-resilient city.
The parks and gardens of Grün Berlin GmbH are our outdoor experience spaces, where we offer a comprehensive programme revolving around the following topics:
Experience of nature & Diversity
Diversity begins in your head and in your perception! That's why we invite you to join us in getting to know Berlin's animals and plants in all their diversity. Whether in the park, in the urban jungle or under water, whether insect, bird, tree or mushroom - the city's natural environment is as diverse as the city itself. Join us to explore Berlin's urban nature, the diverse habitats and their inhabitants with all your senses and in all seasons: from the blossoms of spring and the vibrancy of summer to the rich colours of autumn and the silence of winter. Our parks, green spaces and nature experience areas invite you to visit, play and explore.
Environment & Sustainability
How can we lead a good and fair life - and what does that actually mean for everyone? Our workshops and events show you various aspects of sustainability and invite you to find out more and get active yourself: gardening together and cooking with seasonal and regional ingredients, growing herbs and gardening, enjoying exercise and exploring your sustainable hand and footprint. You can also discover how all this is connected to local and global developments in our programme.
City & Culture
Long live the green city! Here we look at Berlin from a wide variety of perspectives: come on impressive guided tours and take a look through the camera lens or into the microscope. Learn how climate change is affecting the urban ecosystem and how justice has a place in it. Understand what measures can help us all. Get involved in our hands-on activities, from scythe mowing to tree planting, or become artistically active! Whether designing, writing, making music, drawing or painting in the countryside - discover all the colours of Berlin's urban nature and the diverse connections between nature, culture and society.
Training & Mediation
We offer practical workshops and information events on nature education, its importance and methods as well as on our nature experience areas for all those working in education. Species knowledge can also be deepened, often in co-operation with scientific partners.
