Beautiful Plants that Save Water - Native Seed Collection Project
Amanda Lind

Using native plants saves the water.
The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens has embarked on a Sustainable Education Project to save water in gardening through the use of the wonderful variety of Middle Eastern Native plants.
The Staff at the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens have researched and prepared a preliminary list of 18 native plants. These are then grown in trial beds around the Botanic Gardens. Once the plants have grown and set seed, volunteers collect, clean, prepare and package the seed.
The seed packets are then distributed to plant nurseries and Community Gardens with growing instructions.
In this way the use of local wild plants is encouraged and water use in gardens cut to a minimum.

Training for German and Romanian Danube Nature Guides: a link between generations and cultures
The Danube Nature Guides’ Project, subsidized by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung and promoted by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Limnologie offered a two weeks’ training program for young Romanians and German Nature Guides along the Danube. 15 young Romanians and 8 already trained German Nature Guides spent the first week near Beuron in July 2018, and the second in Galatz near the Danube Delta in September. The water quality was tested, lectures and excursions along the river and into near-by nature parks provided many ideas and insights into nature protection and the creation of income-providing projects based on the preservation of natural resources and cultural assets. There will be a closing event in Galatz in 2019.
„People need to be introduced to nature protection when they are young, if we want them to consider it a career option”, says Dr. Gabriela Costea. She and a second limnologist Dr. Sabine Schmidt-Halewicz from Konstanz, initiated the Danube Nature Guides project in cooperation with Naturschule Region Bodensee e.V. and the Romanian Green East Corridor in Galatz. The partnerships formed, the plan for an internet platform, and a larger network, the continuation of the courses in Romania, the ideas to promote tourism not only in the Danube Delta, but for the stunning nature trails and nature parks in the Galatz region further upriver are promising.

The ‘’LoveTree’’ provides a holistic approach combining satellite, environmental, biological and socio-economic data and the includes the interactions between open green spaces, water attenuation and spatial planning. It includes the unification of the already existing data within a municipality and aims to enrich the database with new datasets and to create database on additional spatial characteristics. More, the actual application of the LoveTree, aims at enhancing public awareness on the benefits and added value of trees in urban settings, the climate change risks by the loss of trees, the flood protection potential of trees, and the cultural and historical characteristics of trees. Further, the application will provide a useful tool for enabling better access and use of green open spaces within the city. With regard to the users, the LoveTree application, will be user friendly, it will provide information on CO2 capture and water capture by specific tree species by location, it will identify cool/shaded areas, informed by meteorological data, and flood prone areas, and finally, users will have the ability to discover the potential of using the fruits and seeds of public trees. Ultimately, the users, will adopt and name a tree, send feedback associated to the state and history of trees, the need for maintenance of existing trees and the potential for new planting within the urban settings.
