Looking for an unforgettable educational experience? Every student in Rhineland-Palatinate should make a visit to the gritty and mystical National Park Hunsrück-Hochwald (Nationalpark Hunsrück-Hochwald) a priority during their school years. The Green fraction in the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament has proposed this idea in a paper outlining future goals for the national park.
Environmental studies are set to play a significant role in the lives of young people, and the expansion of educational opportunities at the park is the key to unlocking a universe of knowledge. Among the proposed developments are the creation of a BNE wilderness school, the implementation of a digital national park gate, and a targeted tourism campaign to create awareness of the park's treasures.
BNE Wilderness School: Where Nature Meets Education
Educational outreach through the Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (BNE) (Education for Sustainable Development) program will receive a boost in the form of the new BNE wilderness school. The school will be located near the national park and will specialize in hands-on, experiential learning opportunities across topics such as forest ecosystems, biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable living. The school aims to lead by example, utilizing renewable energy and eco-friendly construction materials.
Digital National Park Gate: Exploring Nature in the 21st Century
To ensure that the educational experience reaches a broader audience, the digital age will play a significant role through the development of a Digital National Park Gate. This virtual information hub will provide visitors with knowledge about the park's trails, wildlife, and conservation projects. It will feature interactive exhibits, augmented reality and virtual reality experiences, and live webcams to enhance the park exploration experience for both tech-savvy younger generations and international tourists.
Discover the Wild Heart of Rhineland-Palatinate: A Tourism Campaign
To drive awareness and support the local economy, a tourism campaign titled "Discover the Wild Heart of Rhineland-Palatinate" is planned to promote responsible travel, encourage sustainable tourism, and funds local businesses. With enticing slogans like "Wildnis erleben" (Experience Wilderness) and "Natur neu entdecken" (Rediscover Nature), the campaign will cater to families, school groups, nature enthusiasts, and outdoor adventurers alike.
The National Park Hunsrück-Hochwald began ten years ago and boasts a thriving wildlife population and pristine wilderness habitats, making it an absolute haven for those who appreciate the wonders of nature. The park covers approximately 10,000 hectares, with 90% situated in Rhineland-Palatinate and the remaining 10% in Saarland. With these new initiatives, the future of environmental education and nature conservation in the region looks brighter than ever.
