Tree hollow habitat
environmentEnvironment
The non-profit organization FREETHEBEES actively carves out tree hollows throughout the forest ecosystem. The aim of the tree hollow project is to provide nesting sites for wild honeybees and many other endangered insects that dwell in the cavities of trees. The non-profit's dedicated volunteers have learned how to carve out tree hollows (called a Zeidlerhöhle in German) in a living tree. These cavities serve as refuge, breeding, wintering and feeding grounds for many species in need of protection, including wild honeybees.Learn more -

Volunteers spent a day converting an old van into a mobile Snoezelen station for children with autism. Everyone involved put their heart and soul into this project, and did so with plenty of love, kindness and good spirits. This is reflected by the fruit of their efforts: Thanks to the hard work of the entire team, what was once an old yellow bus is now a special place full of lights, sounds, scents and shapes. It will help children and young people with autism to relax, dream and experience all of their senses.Learn more
