Forest in Transition: What the Tour Makes Visible
On site, it becomes clear how greatly the past dry springs and summers have left their mark: dying trees, cleared areas, and early leaf fall shape the image of the forest. The ranger explains what functions the forest serves for people, climate, and biodiversity and why its protection remains a cultural and ecological task in Bielefeld.
