Orchard, team spirit, and a true autumn moment
Those who participate that day will experience not an ordinary outdoor action, but a real event atmosphere with a sense of community in a small, dedicated circle. NABU is specifically looking for more helpers, starting at 09:00 am, with no fixed end time, so everyone can contribute as they can. Buckets, gloves, sun protection, and suitable shoes are part of the practical equipment. For catering, NABU requests registration by 16.09.2026.

Why this apple harvest is more than just collecting
The action demonstrates how strongly regional organization, landscape care, and target group communication interplay in nature and environmental protection. NABU Heilbronn and Surroundings has been caring for orchards in the region for years; in 2024, 11,018 kilograms of apples were harvested over four Saturdays, and the association points out that climate change tends to shift the harvest start earlier. The harvested organic apples are processed into regional apple juice by Gunkel, a visible result of volunteer work and environmental awareness.

NABU Heilbronn and Surroundings e.V. is committed to nature and environmental protection in the region. According to the association, the area of activity extends beyond the city of Heilbronn to Abstatt, Flein, Ilsfeld, Talheim, and Untergruppenbach. NABU itself was founded in Stuttgart in 1899; a local group already existed in Heilbronn in 1903. This long history gives the apple harvest a clear authority: here works an established nature conservation association with volunteer experience and local roots.
