Under the direction of District Mayor Maren Schellenberg , as well as the district city councils Urban Aykal , Patrick Steinhoff and Tim Richter traveled to the town hall Zehlendorf to actively participate in the clean initiative.

With a motivated team from volunteers, the town hall and along the picturesque Zehlendorfer Dorfaue to the wedding villa was actively collected. The campaign was very well received and illustrated the commitment of the participants for environmental and nature conservation. The group was supported by the Berlin city cleaning , which provided important materials such as gloves, brooms and garbage bags.
