Euro-BBW builds new information boards for a forest in Bitburg

During a walk through the forst "Königswäldchen" in Bitburg, our trainer in the carpentry workshop, Patrick Reis, noticed that the information boards about the individual tree species were getting on in years and needed to be renewed. Since he likes to use these boards for tree studies with his participants, he came up with the idea of making new boards as part of the vocational preparation program at the Euro-BBW. Otmar Koch, head of the Bitburg forestry department, was immediately taken with the idea and agreed to provide the wood for this project.

Thereupon, various weather-resistant models were developed by our participants of the vocational preparation in the field of wood. The model was realized with a weather protection, a screen with the carved characteristic features of the respective tree (leaf and fruit). Behind the aperture you can find the scientific and German name of the tree, as well as a QR code that takes you to the Landesforsten website for more information about the tree.

Last week, the information boards were handed over to Otmar Koch, who was visibly enthusiastic about the work of our participants. The boards fit perfectly into the forest  "Königswäldchen" and will be installed in spring 2023 at its adventure trail.

The Euro-BBW will take over the sponsorship for the information boards and maintain them, so that the walkers in the "Königswäldchen" will enjoy the boards for a long time to come.
