New KfW program: up to 80% funding for Heidelberg green projects!

Heidelberg, Deutschland - In Heidelberg something happens in terms of climate protection! The loan institution for reconstruction (KfW) has launched a new subsidy program that bears the name "Natural climate protection in municipalities". The aim is to support associations and communities in the nature -related design of green areas. The call is aimed specifically at the clubs active in the city who can bring in their own areas and specific projects. There are up to 80 percent funding, while the remaining 20 percent have to be worn - a real bargain for committed citizens who want to use their green thumb!

But what exactly is being encouraged? If you take a look at the funding guidelines, you will find a colorful range of measures. From the redesign of existing areas to tree plantings to distas projects - that is, to regain ground surfaces and restore natural soil function, everything is eligible.
