Forchheim’s first plogging run of the year took place with the support of the junge burgers (LB) heroldsbach. Under the motto "plogging forchheim – from the city to the district" 35 runners from young to old, who collected mull, were there with spab.
The participants met at the hirtenbachhalle in heroldsbach and had a common goal in mind: to do good for themselves and the environment. It was divided into two groups. The group with the younger children started out with a handcart and walked along a short route in the center of heroldsbach. The second squad headed towards poppendorf along the bundesstrabe and back through heroldsbach to the hirtenbachhalle.
