If you’d like to continue getting involved in the pilot neighbourhood, you can also help develop one of the 26 selected ideas. To do so, contact the idea proposers directly or write to mitmachen@pilotquartier.ch.

Walk/Trail "Climate-friendly is also bird-friendly"

Idea not chosen
What should be created?
Above the Kollerwiese in Alt-Wiedikon, Wiedingstrasse winds its way through the district to Binz train station. There are beautiful natural islands here that invite you to pause and watch birds. For a trail, boards with a picture and QR codes are placed at 10-12 locations with information about the nature in which you are. A quiz is also conceivable so that school classes (primary and high school), but also walkers, can test their knowledge of nature along the trail. The focus of the trail is on the birds and their habitat. Birds need places of retreat, even in the city. This requires (old) trees and bushes. A climate-friendly neighbourhood with lots of trees and flower meadows (insects!) also helps the birds. And we think: the climate crisis should ideally be tackled with the biodiversity crisis! This project is intended to raise awareness and also mindfulness among the residents of the neighbourhood for nature in the settlement area as an important resource for living beings.
