In the Futurist project, a mini-forest will be planted on the Dahlem campus. Regional trees and shrubs are being used to create more habitat for biodiversity and to create another green learning and meeting place. Plants provide a cooler microclimate and thus help to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Anyone who would like to find out more and support the planting campaign is invited to come to Otto-von-Simson-Straße 15 on Saturday, November 30 between 10 am and 2 pm in the so-called Cluster Garden next to the building of the Temporal Communities Cluster of Excellence. Please bring gloves and your own spade.

Further information on the planting campaign can be found in the linked press release.
