The "Tour de Natur" wants to offer a cycling tour again this summer. The route will lead from Singen via Lake Constance and the Allgäu to Munich. The cyclists are expected to be on the road from 29 July to 13 August 2023. The project is still in the early stages of planning. People from the region who would like to support this year's tour can contact the organisation.
Dialogue at the Packereigraben, Berlin-Reinickendorf
Wednesday, 14 June 2023
Meeting point: 11 am S-Bf. Waidmannslust | Duration: 11 am - 2 pm
At the 2nd dialogue at the Packereigraben we will continue our chemical-physical measurements and look for small aquatic animals again. As at the last dialogue in April, the chemical-physical analysis will cover pH, dissolved oxygen, total phosphorus concentration, ammonium, nitrate and nitrite, water hardness and copper value.
Comparing our observations between April and June will give us an idea of how conditions have developed. Observing small animals under the binocular will allow us to identify developments in specific animal populations. Together with you, we would like to discuss further steps for the ecological improvement of the watercourse based on the observations. In addition, we will reintroduce gravel into the watercourse.

The Wassernetz Berlin as Guest in the Fluss Bad Garden
The European legal framework contains relevant requirements for water protection, but their implementation in Berlin is progressing only slowly. How can we counteract the further degradation of aquatic habitats in Berlin and what opportunities for practical civic engagement are offered by Wassernetz Berlin, which was founded in January this year, especially in the catchment area of the Stadtspree?

The report from the dialogue at Packereigraben is available here (in German)(PDF 935 KB).
We are back at the Packereigraben. What has happened so far? At our first dialogue event in summer and autumn 2022, we got a picture of the watercourse, provided information on watercourse assessment procedures and implemented the first planned enhancement measures. We installed flow deflectors and gravel to create habitats for small fish and insects, for example. In addition, we removed Japanese knotweed from the banks and planted black alder, a native and water-typical tree species.
Indigenous Peoples, social movements and water defenders address the United Nations at the 2023 UN Water Conference to amplify the voices of the unheard and insist that the following fundamental issues be placed at the center of water policies at the global, regional, national and subnational levels:
