Ökowerk Emden
Our foundation’s purpose is environmental education for children and adults.
Every year we welcome more than 100 groups from local kindergartens and schools. People
from Emden and the entire region can also visit our site at any time to enjoy our premisses.
For opening times check the website. A total of about 25,000 people visits us every year.
These topics are the focus of our educational work: biodiversity, education for sustainable
development, the preservation and reproduction of apple trees from our apple orchard and
the protection of our coast in the face of climate change.
Our educational work takes place mainly outside, i.e. in our garden.
We have an area of about seven hectares here in Borssum, which I would like to show you
right now.
You can discover many differently designed small living areas for animals and plants.
A very special treasure is our orchard, which we call the Pomarium frisiae.
There we have over 600 different varieties of apples. A total of 1000 fruit trees and fruit
shrubs grow there.
