DIY-Seed Paper – A Greeting Card That Will Sprout Flowers

Posted on February 11, 2022February 11, 2022 by Malu

Its Valentine’s day very soon. And I’m not really a person who appreciates days that focus on “you have to buy stuff or else you’re doing it wrong” but I do very much enjoy making creative love notes for my special people. And now I came up with a nature inspired one. Make your own…

Invite Hedgehogs Into Your Garden

Posted on February 1, 2022February 10, 2022 by Malu

Tomorrow, 02.02. is Hedgehog Day! So lets celebrate and make life nicer for them. What About Hedgehogs? Hedgehogs are small mammals with short little legs, cute, wet noses, beady eyes, tiny little sharp teeth, and a back covered in spines which they can curl up into for protection, kind of like a draw string bag….

Nature Care Challenge | October 2021: Make a Shelter for Small Animals.

Posted on October 1, 2021March 2, 2022 by Malu

Here in Europe, winter is sending polite little reminders of it coming to see us soon-ish. The trees are still green but the nights are getting pretty cold already. Soon the leaves will be falling and covering everything, protecting the micro life below from the harshest frost (Little nudge not to rake leaves unless necessary)….

Wonderful Wild Garlic (Allium ursinum) – And my Favourite Way to Eat it: Wild Garlic-Oil

Posted on April 17, 2021October 18, 2021 by Malu

Its that time of the year where foraging is exciting even to those who don’t like the acquired taste of many wild plants: Wild garlic is popping up and I am spending my free time looking for it in the forest close to my home. Yesterday, I even bumped into a wild boar, who was…

Nature Care Challenge | March 2021: Guerilla Gardening

Posted on March 1, 2021February 10, 2022 by Malu

The pandemic is still here! Depending where you live, you might not be able to anything really. Here in Germany, the sun suddenly came out and declared springtime. Everyone is out and taking walks. They pass by my mothers garden, which is now again filled with crocusses, snowdrops and “winterlings” as they are called in…

About me

My name is Malu. I am a conservation-ecologist currently living in Germany. I’ve always been wild about the outdoors and can spend hours looking at an insect labouring away at its daily challenges, or a bird building its nest, or … there’s just so much amazing stuff happening out there! I’m really glad you’ve made it onto this page so I can share my joy with you.

Monthly Challenges

We only have about 6 to 8 years left to turn this environmental mess of a ship around. So much has to happen politically, but the people also need to change habits and start to appreciate our environment more. So every 1st of the month I post a nature care challenge with environmentally friendly lifestyle choices of habits for you to try for 30 days and, if you like, let it stick with you for longer, maybe even for life.

Lots of little droplets make up the largest ocean.

Are you absolutely unable to do the current challenge? Or maybe you are underwhelmed with the challenge and want an extra one? Check out the previous challenges to see if there is something you would like to try.

The challenges  make up the major part in the flow of posts here, so they are easy to find. But if you want to get a good overview of the challenges set so far, simply follow the link below.

Do you want to set next month’s sustainability challenge?

Contact me and pitch your challenge to me. It might be up next month. You can either write the whole challenge, and why we should do it, or just give me an idea for something to look into.
