Forest in Climate Change: Experience Karlsruhe's City Forest in Transformation
How is the forest changing in the climate change hotspot region of Upper Rhine? During the two-hour guided tour through the Oberreuter Hardtwald, adults and youths aged 16 and over will experience how drought and heat affect the health of the forest. The event combines nature experience, local climate research, and practical knowledge about the future of the city forest.
Insights into the Native Tree World
At the beginning, the focus is on the most important native tree species. Participants will learn how to recognize the effects of increasing heat and prolonged dry periods, and what significance different tree species have for a stable forest ecosystem. The discovery experience makes climate changes immediately visible and connects botanical expertise with the atmosphere of the forest.
Walk Through the Oberreuter Hardtwald
During the guided walk through the Oberreuter Forest, the local history of Karlsruhe's city forest is linked with current challenges of climate adaptation. Among treetops, forest floor, and typical landscape structures, the question arises as to how the forest develops under changing temperature and precipitation conditions.
Expert Knowledge from the Karlsruhe Forestry Office
The tour will be led by Nicole Hirsch, a forester and climate adaptation and risk manager at the Forestry Office of the City of Karlsruhe. Her professional expertise enables a well-founded view of forest health, risk management, and possible solutions for the city forest.
