Beschreibung

Particularly today, it is of great importance to draw children's attention to the diverse life in the forest, to help them develop their love for flora and fauna and to show them the vital symbiosis between humans and nature. The reader experiences the development of an acorn into a tree on the Orscholz treetop walk, gets to know the forest dwellers and neighbors of Eicha, the little oak tree, learns how the treetop walk was built, and then enters the magical world of Duffi the gnome, Gerne the elf and Grando the giant. Children are taught respect for nature and learn how important it is to protect our forests.

The tree in the Orscholz forest

Don't you know me yet?

Have you never seen me before?

Then you've never been to the treetop walk in Orscholz.

But my story begins much earlier, because by human reckoning I am now a full seventy-five years old. Seventy-five years ago, it was spring and the first warm rays of sunlight were penetrating the branches of my elderly tree neighbors. As an acorn, I had been lying in the dark, damp earth all winter long, warmly covered by the forest floor. But when the narrow, bright rays touched the ground, I became curious. And my head burst open.

It didn't hurt, no. I was just surprised at what was growing out of me: a small, green leaf.

My oversized tree neighbors looked down at me kindly and I heard one say something like, "Hello, welcome, little oak!"

Me, an oak tree? No, that couldn't be, I really couldn't believe it. I was just a hard acorn nut with a leaf for a head of hair! But well, the older trees usually know more and have years of experience, so what they said was certainly true: I had mutated from an acorn into a miniature tree.

The following days I made a great effort to stretch and stretch, greedily soaking up the rest of the spring rain and lo and behold, my leaf shot up and even branched out.

When I woke up in the morning, I sometimes had to laugh. Lots of little black ants climbed over me and tickled my leaves. Even a snail crawled up me leisurely and stuck to me with its slimy body. At the time, I wished for a really heavy downpour to remove this very heavy animal.
