Treasure Hunt in Göttweig Abbey

Summer 2025 was memorable for our activities with kids, and one of them was a Treasure Hunt in Göttweig Aboretum with a magical characters played by our international volunteers, who stayed with Green Steps in July.

On May 24, a multi-hour Green Steps workshop took place in Pürbach, near the Czech border, organized by the “Mitmachregion Waldviertel” and Parents For Future Waldviertel. Christian Oberlechner, chair of the Eco-Social Initiative Waldviertel, shares his impressions

The lime tree of Salcherstraße has gained protection as a natural monument. While our efforts have pushed the number of living protected trees to 53, dozens of ancient trees remain threatened by weak legislation and urban development.
