"Habitat Water"

On May 30.05.2022th, 7, the students of the XNUMXth grade natural sciences elective course attended the Jodocus Nünning Comprehensive School in Borken, with the anticipation of an exciting day in nature, the Biological Station in Zwillbrock. Miss Dr. Stefanie Bölting from the ESD Regional Center for the Nature and West Foundationmünsterland welcomed the guests at the Biological Station and took everyone present to the nature reserve for a swim. In a round of introductions, Ms. Krass gave a brief overview of the Naturpark Hohe Mark and reported on the cooperation between the partners Kaufland and the Association of Germans Naturparke. The topic of the nature action day and the conflicts of interest in the use of land and water then came up. It became clear that nature conservation measures sometimes reduce the yield of farmland and are nevertheless important in order to preserve the existential habitat for many rare and endangered species.

Through the careful exchange of the various arguments, the sense of responsibility for one's own actions with and in nature should be strengthened. With bowls, magnifying glasses and landing nets, everyone involved was able to convince themselves of the biodiversity in the small lake. Using information cards and expert information from Mrs. Bölting, the creatures were identified and the morphological adaptation, the ecological significance and a very general knowledge of the species were conveyed.
