Climate protection in the district: New concept for Zehlendorfer forest park!

Kirchstraße 1/3, 14163 Berlin, Deutschland - On June 23, 2025, the Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office announced that an information event will take place on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Citizens' Hall of the City Hall Zehlendorf. As part of this event, the care and development plan for the climate-sensitive conversion of the forest parking facilities on the Krumme Lanke and the Schlachtensee will be presented. This Initiative is part of the "Climate -Senic Corption of the Wald Parking Plants" project, which is funded by the federal program to adapt urban and rural areas to climate change. Berlin.de reports that…

This conversion is intended to help secure a living and recreation room as well as an important cold air source for Berlin. Other goals include improving the ecological quality of forest -like green areas and minimizing risks such as heat and heavy rain events. Sustainable rainwater management is to be established to meet the challenges of climate change in this country.

on the agenda: User engagement and citizen information

The presentation of the care and development plan is based on results of several participation events and a walk that took place on May 23, 2025. These formats have enabled citizens to be actively involved in the planning. An important goal is also to raise awareness of the population for measures for climate protection and climate adaptation.

One of the central challenges is to cope with the costs of forest redevelopment. According to Tab at the Bundestag, the expenses for reforestation and supporting buildings as well as less yields are significant financial factors. In order to promote sustainable forest management, state support is essential, especially for the many private forest owners who are dependent on help.

The future of forest use

The conversion of the forests to climate silicians mixing stocks represents a central strategy in order to counteract the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and pests. The Federal Environment Agency emphasizes that deciduous trees store more carbon and promote the formation of groundwater compared to needle forests. The goal is to increase the resistance of the forests and to promote biodiversity.

The adaptation measures in the forest should also be strengthened, so that the wood -processing industry is less dependent on imported wood. In addition, the positive development of leaf and mixed forests could benefit from different sectors, including construction and trade.

climate change requires adaptation in forestry, and the upcoming information evening will help promote the dialogue through the necessary measures to implement these strategies. Participation in the event is vividly recommended to find out more about the future -oriented plans and to contribute your own perspective.
