In Capellen, near the Paul Glück Tennis Center, a new tower for swallows has just been installed. It offers these birds a safe place to shelter and nest.

As part of NaturPakt, the local authority is providing additional nesting sites and actively contributing to the preservation of biodiversity. This initiative is of particular importance, as modern architecture is making it increasingly difficult to build nests on facades and buildings.

With its various nesting boxes, this special tower creates a new living space for the swallows and guarantees them a safe place to breed. Swallows are usually present in our region from mid-April to mid-September. During this period, they reproduce and, with a little luck, you’ll be able to spot a few around the new tower.

The Centre National de Prévention des Addictions (CNAPA) supports parents, educators, teachers and supervisors in the healthy and appropriate use of digital media by children. of digital media among children.

As part of the “Children’s eyes shine brighter offline” campaign, an online brochure has been published with tips and great ideas for screen-free summer activities.
