Small animal commune

Nature paradise in mini format

Who is scampering between the stones? Who lives in the pile of branches? The Förderverein Wildnispark Zurich is committed to this project.

What it's about

On the grounds of the visitor centre in Sihlwald, visitors will find several experience stations on the topic of biodiversity under the motto «small animal commune». In a confined space, visitors can experience what is good for nature and how the diverse interplay between native plants and animals works.

The project

The various exhibition elements are getting old and need to be renewed. In addition, the Wildnispark Zurich Foundation would like to take the opportunity to integrate more habitats into the concept. At the experience stations, the focus will be more on suggestions on how visitors can transform their own garden or balcony into a small nature paradise with simple tips: small changes with a big effect for biodiversity.
