First Tiny Forest & Climate Park in Euskirchen County: A Milestone for the LAND4CLIMATE German Front-Running Region
On Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 22, the first tiny forest and climate park in Euskirchen County will open. This event is marking the very first Nature-based Solution (NbS) implemented under the LAND4CLIMATE project.
The inauguration ceremony is welcoming local residents, officials, and project partners to witness this important step in adapting to climate change with the help of nature.
This green space – made possible in cooperation with Eugebau, the municipal housing company– is more than just a park. It marks a model of how public and private stakeholders can join forces to reclaim land for the benefit of biodiversity, climate resilience, and community well-being.
The climate park includes a mix of native plant habitats, all enhancing biodiversity and cooling the urban environment. Additionally, the tiny forest will transform into a thriving forest ecosystem within just a decade.
This site is a living example of how nature-based solutions can shield communities from heatwaves and heavy rainfall. Importantly, it also showcases the role of private landowners as altruistic partners in shaping resilient, liveable environments.
