English: An exemplary picture that shows the efforts of students and teachers of the progressive boarding school Schule am Meer (School by the Sea) were working on the East Frisian island Juist in the North Sea. They made the Loog, an area in which the Western settlement of the island is located arable and sustainably designed it. They laid out about eleven vegetable gardens and one botanical garden, the latter meant as teaching garden, but also for contemplation. They were regularly laying sods to fix the sand of the dunes, planted shrubs, trees and bulbs. Vegetable and flower gardens had to be protected from drift sand and grazing cows. Dune paths were partly paved with paving stones, differences in height were evened out by brick stairs. Fences were erected, wooden sheds and barracks were built, and farm animals were kept. Orphaned or injured animals (howlers, birds) were looked after, until they could be handed over to professionals like educator and natural scientist Otto Leege (1862–1951) and one of his sons who supported the students this way.
