About the volunteering opportunity
Would you like to nurture and care for a piece of nature on your doorstep, take responsibility for the local landscape and contribute to improving the environment and climate for plants and animals?
Then you've come to the right place! We are looking for committed citizens to sponsor a tree bed or a green space in our streets, green areas or squares.
Your Tasks
Become a mentor of a green space or tree bed and take care of it!
More and more citizens are now getting involved in Cologne's green spaces. Around 1,400 Cologne residents currently volunteer to maintain green spaces and tree beds on their own doorstep, look after one of the cemeteries or keep an eye on one of the city's fountains. They even lend a hand in larger green spaces. Here, several committed people usually join together as a citizens' association or from a local community.
