In the Vogelsberg district there is a celebration! Nine schools were awarded the coveted title "Hessian environmental school - learning and acting for our future". These schools show how to actively contribute to environmental protection with creative projects such as vegetable cultivation in the school garden, beekeeping and sustainable nutritional concepts. First district member Patrick Krug praised the impressive initiatives and emphasized that each individual can make a contribution to nature conservation.

The environmental schools in Vogelsbergkreis are true pioneers! From the Eichberg School Lauterbach, which is strong for waste prevention and regional nutrition to the Windberg School, which deals with school gardens and garbage management - the variety of projects is breathtaking. Krug underlined the importance of these engagements, especially in times of extreme weather events. "Everyone can do something," he called to the students and encouraged them to continue to be active.
