Children and young people in Saxony involved as Young Nature Guards

Building mud huts, weaving wicker baskets, listening to birdsong: Children and young people from Saxony got involved as "Young Nature Guards" on Saturday. The aim is to explore the diversity of nature and sensitize the next generation to the importance of nature conservation, announced the State Foundation for Nature and the Environment on Saturday.

The children and young people can explore orchards and post-mining landscapes, for example. The focus is also on regional cooking and the connection between old crafts and nature conservation. The Young Nature Guards (JuNa) program for people aged 7 to 18 has been officially available in Bavaria since 2017.
