Local action

Two new trees in the district

For Earth Day, our school did more than speak about environmental protection: it took visible local action. The two trees planted together with the 18th district municipality represent care for nature, civic cooperation and responsibility toward future generations.

Memorial plaques

Two trees, two messages

In memory of Jane Goodall

One tree was planted in memory of Jane Goodall. Her name is connected with chimpanzee research, wildlife protection and environmental education that encourages young people to take action.

For David Attenborough's 100th birthday

The other tree marks David Attenborough's 100th birthday. His work has introduced generations to the beauty and fragility of the natural world through educational documentaries.
