It was really great to be a part of a tree-planting event on Thursday, April 10th. The language school where I work, International House Berlin PROLOG, has committed to planting 20 trees around Berlin, and last week saw the seventh in that series finding its home on Akazienstrasse, just round the corner from the school's main entrance on Hauptrasse in Schöneberg.
Berlin is an incredibly green city, with large parks (Volksparks) in each district, and tree-lined streets all over the city. Unfortunately, due to disease and environmental factors, trees often need to be cut down and replaced. The school has to wait until sites are available before trees can be planted, so it will take a while for the full contingent of 20 trees to be planted. If you want to check out pictures and video of the planting, have a look at the school's website!
