Tree Aware
#2 Lenne

In the first episode of Lenne Leaks, Lenne, the talking Norway maple, meets Rainer Leidholdt, the forestry district manager for Moabit. Together they explore the question of how Berlin's urban trees deal with drought and water shortages, what they need to survive and how we humans can support them.

Stefan Koderisch, urban planner and project manager of the BMUV-funded ClimArt project, will reveal the secret behind the talking tree. How can artistic interventions help to sensitise us to the effects of the climate crisis and develop strategies for adaptation?

Listen in and find out what moves Lenne and what we can all do to make urban nature more resilient!

The second episode of Lenne Leaks deals with heat: How do people experience it in the city? And how can we protect ourselves and our environment from heat? Lenne, the talking maple, and co-host Anna tackle the topic and talk to numerous guests.

The Alt und Jung (Old and Young) group meets to sing together in Moabit and talks about how they perceive the increasingly hot summers in Berlin and how they find ways to cool down. Dalia Kellou from the climate research institute Climate Analytics presents her research on heat stress and adaptation measures in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region. Speaking of adaptation measures: artists and architects Gloria Jurado and Paula Cano have developed a shade-providing prototype as part of the ZK/U project ClimArt, which they will introduce to you in the podcast!
