Paludi-green Week
Tips for visitors

16/01/2025 Paludiculture is a topic at the International Green Week from January 17 to 26 in Berlin. Where and when? - We have put together some tips here: Paludi products and cores from peatlands, peat and peat substitutes can be seen all week at the stand of the Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V. (FNR) in Hall 27 (Stand 215). These will be presented from the PaludiZentrale project and the PaludiNetz, to which ten paludiculture projects have joined forces. Staff from the Greifswald Mire Center, the FNR and the Thünen Institute will be on hand at the stand to answer questions on paludiculture.
On the opening day, January 17, there will be a panel talk on the topic of peatland protection through peatland use from 13:30-14:00 at the Kaufland stand in Hall 3.2 (Stand 211). Information will be provided by the PaludiAllianz project of the Michael Otto Environmental Foundation, the University of Greifswald and the Succow Foundation.
One day later, on January 18, the new MOOReturn paludiculture project will officially receive its funding decision from Claudia Müller, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Food and Consumer Protection, on the stage in Hall 23a. Visitors will learn how the project, which involves the University of Greifswald and the Succow Foundation, both partners in the Greifswald Moor Centrum, aims to promote paludiculture in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
On January 22 at 11:30 a.m., the WetNetBB project will host a panel discussion on the topic of “Peatlands with a future”, also on stage in Hall 23a, with a focus on paludiculture in the federal state of Brandenburg.
