Climate-friendly conversion: forest parks on the Krummen Lanke are blooming!
In 2026, Steglitz-Zehlendorf will start a funding project for the climate-friendly redesign of the forest parks at Schlachtensee.
Climate-friendly conversion: forest parks on the Krummen Lanke are blooming!
Today, January 26, 2026, a new funding project was officially presented, which aims to redesign the forest parks on the Krummen Lanke and Schlachtensee. As berlin.de reports, this is a comprehensive initiative that focuses on the climate-friendly conversion of these popular recreational areas.
A central element of the project is the creation of plywood hedges and protective strips in various areas of the park. These measures are intended, in particular, to reduce subsistence-damaging trails that promote erosion and water runoff and thus endanger the forest cover.
Targeted measures for sustainable development
As part of this project, the first implementation steps from the care and development plan are being implemented. The aim is to gain valuable experience for future forest conversion. Various structural elements are used that offer protection to both nature and the landscape. In order to prevent unregulated access to vegetation areas, users are specifically directed to paved park paths. However, this represents an interference with the usual usage behavior of visitors.
The planned redesign is intended to contribute to the creation of a species-rich mixed forest in the long term. It is also expected that the measures will make green spaces more resilient to heat waves, drought and intensive use for leisure activities.
Implementation and further perspectives
The practical implementation of the planned measures is planned for the period from mid-2026 to the end of 2027. This phase will also improve accessibility for people with limited mobility. The project thus makes a valuable contribution to the development of a stable forest ecosystem that can cope with the challenges of climate change and at the same time promotes natural recreation for the Berlin population.
In summary, it can be said that the climate-friendly conversion of the forest parks on the Krummen Lanke and Schlachtensee not only has an ecological but also a social aspect in mind in order to meet the needs of all park visitors.
