That was really nice 🙏🙏
Fairytale forest 💯..
With lots of little ponds and lots of leaves 🍂..
It was interesting and educational too..
We were able to watch workers collecting acorns..the forest floor was vacuumed with a leaf vacuum 😂😂
And the collected acorns were packed in sacks..
This will be used to plant new forests all over Germany..
