At the edge of the woods in Affoltern, a pocket park with the character of a forest margin is taking shape these days. Here too, the improvements follow the needs of the wild bee species occurring locally. The heavily overgrown area in front of the woodland edge is largely cleared, the paving slabs sealing the ground are removed, and the site is given numerous structures \u2014 bare earth and sand, steep loess walls, deadwood, piles of stones and branches \u2014 to open up nesting opportunities for as many species as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Partners<\/strong>
The upkeep of the Zurich pocket parks<\/em> is made possible by Daniel Labhart from Schafisheim in the canton of Aargau. This innovative horticultural entrepreneur has a genuine commitment to biodiversity and supports the work of IG Wilde Biene<\/a> through the sale of his planting bricks optimised for wild bees<\/a>.
Petrig AG<\/a> in Volketswil supports us with custom-made, weatherproof mounts for the information panels of at least the first 20 pocket parks.
And Gr\u00fcn Stadt Z\u00fcrich lets us use the city's small parks rent-free and bears the cost of the improvement measures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
