Projects

Clean Hesse – the Forsthaus daycare center helps out!

The children at the Forsthaus daycare center took part in the trash collection for the “Clean Hesse” environmental campaign.

Armed with tongs and bags, the groups set off and the children worked hard to help collect trash. Everyone was very motivated and surprised at how much trash there was in nature.
