Acoustics, art and cardboard
All in this fresh issue of our NL
23/05/2025 The current issue of the Paludiculture newsletter tells how peatland is represented in the new “Land Use” focus of the Berlin Futurium and about new courses and training programmes on peatlands. It shares news about the new cardboard box of a large German DIY store produced with a share of paludiculture biomass. In the Paludiculture interview, scientist Alexander Drexler explains why he doesn't need to hear anything himself during bioacoustic monitoring. Also: newly launched projects, new publications and an overview of current events on peatlands, climate protection and paludiculture in the calendar. We hope you enjoy reading the newsletter and would be happy to receive feedback on it by e-mail to communication@greifswaldmoor.de.
Peatland & Futurium
Living plant installation "Superland"
22/05/2025 Just a few steps out of Berlin Central Station along the banks of the Spree and you can already see it: a living plant installation in front of the Futurium. Also integrated: Cattail and peat moss! They are intended to show that peatlands are important when it comes to land use. A joint event organised by Futurium, the Joachim Herz Foundation and the Greifwald Mire Centre on 9 October 2025 will focus on how we currently use peatlands, what problems this causes, what opportunities they offer us for the future and what conflicts there are over land use on peatland. At the Futurium's Family Day, already on 4 October 2025, we will present interesting and entertaining facts about peatlands and climate protection interactively for adults and children to participate in.
Detailed information will follow soon on the Futurium and Greifswald Mire Centre channels. Until then, just drop by if you get the chance, perhaps during a stopover at the main railway station.
