Nature Park Schools and Kindergartens - Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald

About this program

The Nature Park Schools and Kindergartens initiative, led by the Geo-Naturpark Bergstraße-Odenwald in cooperation with the Association of German Nature Parks (VDN), recognizes selected schools and daycare centers for their commitment to integrating nature and sustainability into daily learning. These institutions use the surrounding landscape of the nature park as an active learning environment, connecting students with local ecological, geological, and cultural features. The Geo-Naturepark offers strong support to partner schools and kindergartens, including training, expert contacts, and ranger involvement. The program is part of the UNESCO Geopark network and is evaluated every five years to maintain high standards.
