News briefing on developments in Eisenach and the Wartburg region
The German PEFC Forest Capital, a project focused on promoting sustainable forest management and raising awareness about forestry certification, is set to make a significant impact in communities across Germany. One such community is Creuzburg in the Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal region, where kindergartens are playing an active role in environmental education and forest-related activities.
The German PEFC Forest Capital initiative encourages kindergartens and other local entities to connect with the forest environment through educational programs, nature walks, and hands-on activities. This approach fosters respect for forests and highlights the importance of sustainable forestry. By teaching children about forests and sustainability at an early age, the project aims to strengthen community involvement in forest conservation.
The PEFC certification framework underpins the initiative by ensuring that forest products come from sustainably managed forests. This aligns with the focus on sustainability and climate goals in forestry financing by LBBW, a key player in the project.
In addition to the educational aspect, the German PEFC Forest Capital project offers practical tips and examples from practice. For instance, a factory tour at Henry Technologies will be offered after the event, providing insights into sustainable industrial practices.
Meanwhile, in a separate initiative, the Nature Park invites small and medium-sized enterprises and energy-intensive businesses in the Wartburg district to a Sculpture Hike on August 24th. This five-hour hike, led by national park guide Jürgen Dawo, includes a shuttle service and an overview of current funding programs from the federal and state governments for energy and resource efficiency projects in companies. Registration is required by August 21st via email to [email protected].
Furthermore, registrations for the "First Lego League" event series at Eisenach's city library are now open until August 29th. The participation fee per child for the week-long event is 25 euros, and it is scheduled for the second week of the autumn holidays, from October 13th to 17th.
Lastly, a Stammtisch about "Funding programs for energy and resource efficiency in businesses" is scheduled for August 21st, from 4 pm to 7 pm at Henry Technologies GmbH in Krayenberggemeinde (Merkers). This event aims to provide valuable information and networking opportunities for businesses seeking to improve their energy and resource efficiency.
The German PEFC Forest Capital project, with its focus on sustainability, encourages local entities like kindergartens to engage with forestry and finance by participating in educational programs, thereby aligning with LBBW's forestry financing that emphasizes sustainable forestry. Meanwhile, businesses in the Wartburg district are invited to a Sculpture Hike on August 24th, which covers current funding programs from the federal and state governments for energy and resource efficiency projects, bridging the gap between business and sustainable energy practices.
