Pitching in for biodiversity in the Fröttmaninger Heide
On Saturday, June 13, 2026, it's time at the HeideHaus Munich: out into nature, into practical nature conservation. During the volunteer effort against neophytes, visitors will help to push back invasive plant species in the Fröttmaninger Heide and thus give rare heath plants new chances. The action runs from 09:00 to 12:00 and is aimed at families, school children, young people, and adults.
Why this effort is important
Neophytes are spreading rapidly in the Fröttmaninger Heide and gradually displacing weaker heath plants. The Heideflächenverein Münchener Norden e.V. has described the care of the heath as a central task for the preservation of valuable habitats in the northern part of Munich for years. Anyone who works here not only protects individual plants but also directly supports the biodiversity of one of the most sensitive natural areas in the region.
A morning with a sense of nature and team spirit
The event combines practical nature conservation with a real outdoor atmosphere. The grounds of the Fröttmaninger Heide stand for spaciousness, clear air, and focused work in the field. According to the event information, participants should bring sturdy shoes, gloves, and sun protection; long pants are advisable due to the ants in the area. Drinks and a snack will be provided; registration is done through the HeideHaus.
Well accessible at HeideHaus
The HeideHaus is located in Munich-Freimann at Admiralbogen 77, near the Fröttmaning subway station. The access is designed to be barrier-free, and a disabled toilet is also available. The operator explicitly recommends public transportation, bicycles, or walking for getting there, as there is no direct access to the building. This way, the volunteer effort starts relaxed and without having to search for a parking space.
Organization with experience in environmental education and landscape maintenance
The Heideflächenverein Münchener Norden e.V. has been working since 1990 on the preservation and development of the heath landscape in northern Munich. The association coordinates habitat maintenance, compensation area management, environmental education, and public relations. Since 2011, the HeideHaus has served as an environmental station and gateway to the heath landscape. This expertise makes the event credible, practice-oriented, and ecologically effective.
In the end, a morning that is more than work in nature awaits: visitors experience hands-on nature conservation, gain direct insights into the care of the heath, and make a tangible contribution to the protection of rare plant species. Anyone who wants to not only support biodiversity but also help shape it themselves should definitely plan this date in Munich.
