• The BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland) writes on its website: "The BSBI is for everyone who cares about the wild plants of Britain and Ireland. That is exactly what appeals to me - my reason for becoming a member.

  • Biodiversity is becoming more and more important these days, which is why I joined the National Biodiversity Network (NBN).

  • My love of the British countryside led me to become a member of the National Trust.
  • The love and knowledge of wild herbs is taught by the 'Kräuterpädagogen' (herb educators). Exactly what I myself do, at any time, always and everywhere. Becoming a member was therefore the obvious consequence.
  • The Botanical Garden of the University of Tübingen not only displays a wide variety of plants, but also cultivates many rare plants to ensure their preservation. This is one but not the only reason why becoming a member is worthwhile.
  • At the annual 'Unkrautkonferenz' (weed conference), it is shown that despised weeds are often valuable medicinal herbs. That's why my wife and I have been part of the team for years.
  • I trained as a nature guide many years ago, but I still share knowledge with my fellow students at our regular meetings.
  • Actually this is not a membership, but In my day job I am responsible for the orchard meadows of Rottenburg, their maintenance and care. I am also involved in the planning of the biotope network.
