2024

black forest cleanup days

From 15 - 21 April 2024, the non-profit association PATRON & Schwarzwald Tourismus GmbH called on people to go out and clear nature of rubbish left lying around. Around 2,950 PATRONs responded to the call - despite rain, wind and even snow. We say #thankyou & look forward to the Black Forest CleanUP Days 2025 with hopefully even more kilometres & sunshine.

Partners & sponsors of the Black Forest CleanUP Days 2024

A big thanks goes out to our partners & sponsors of the Black Forest CleanUP Days 2024. We are really happy & proud to say that we are supported by you! Without you, the CleanUP Days and the organisation of the workshops, community CleanUPs and concerts would not be possible in this form!

CO-OPERATING FOR ONE GOAL

Schwarzwald Tourismus GmbH (STG), based in Freiburg, is the tourist 'umbrella' for the strong and enormously diverse region. STG is so enthusiastic about the Black Forest CleanUP Days that it also acted as 'patron' in 2024. Thanks to the good and close cooperation, it is probably possible that the Black Forest CleanUP Days could become perhaps the largest collective CleanUP event in Germany!

How to CleanUP

How do the CleanUP Days work? Where and how can you register? And how does it work on site? 

So many questions. Just as many answers.

Basically: Anyone can take part in the PATRON CleanUP Tour & of course it's free, because every action counts!
