AHA pub knowledge

The forest is a habitat, a place of recreation, a supplier of building materials and a climate protector - and much more.

At our first AHA Wirtshaus-Wissen event, everything revolves around the topic of "The Forest". TV reporter and world explorer Willi ("Willi wills wissen") talks to exciting experts from various specialist areas from the AHA network and takes children, parents and anyone else who is interested on a fascinating journey of knowledge.

• What would it look like if we humans did not intervene in nature?
• For example, what do the animals in the forest tell us about its condition?
• Which trees are more resistant than others?
• What can you build with wood, or even with living trees?

There is plenty to talk about and, of course, to marvel at. You will be invited to ask questions, describe your experiences, join in, touch, guess and put your own knowledge to the test in small quiz rounds.

And these will be Willi's guests:

Dr. Thassilo Franke, Bavarian State Natural History Collections
He travels back in time with us and describes what the landscape that is now Germany looked like before the great ice age....
