IN DETAIL
All people in Germany
The forest dieback in Harz moves us. It is close to home; so, in recent years, we have witnessed the negative change caused by storms, the bark beetle and monoculture.
Trees and forests are of high importance for the climate; they absorb CO2, release oxygen and contribute to keeping the earth’s temperatures stable. Forests promote biodiversity by providing a habitat for numerous plants and animals.
Every tree is important, even if it has to grow for at least 10 years before it absorbs CO². A tree is an investment in the future!
The donors are offered reforestation areas all over Germany. They can carry out planting campaigns themselves. PLANT-MY-TREE takes over the entire organisation: From purchasing plants, to staff acquisition, agreements with the forestry office and the aftercare of the trees for at least 99 years.
- Long-term storage of Co²
- Support of the native flora and fauna
- Support of biodiversity
- Sustainable reforestation in Germany moves more into the social focus
