Black Forest National Park – A New Approach to Nature Conservation

We cordially invite you to an informative walk, new food for thought, and a lively discussion surrounded by nature, led by former forester Robert Roller. Germany’s national parks impressively demonstrate how diverse and dynamic forests can be—whether on the coast of Rügen or in the heart of Thuringia. At the same time, different regions have had their own unique experiences with conservation concepts, offering fascinating insights and topics for discussion. What does it actually mean when a forest is placed under special protection? What opportunities arise—and what challenges might emerge? Using various national parks as examples, we’ll take a nuanced look at the development of our forests together. Robert Roller, the former forester of Bad Teinach-Zavelstein, will accompany you on a roughly two-hour hike through the community forest. Drawing on his many years of practical experience, he will provide interesting insights into forest development and invite you to learn about and openly discuss various perspectives on nature conservation policy in Germany.
