1,000 trees for climate protection

We are pleased to announce that together with Planted we have already planted 1,000 trees in Kelsterbach! This initiative is an important step in the fight against climate change and a strong signal for the protection of our natural resources.

Why are trees so important?

Trees are true climate heroes and play a crucial role in the global ecosystem. They act as natural CO₂ sinks and help absorb the excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere that is responsible for global warming. But trees do much more:

  • Habitat: They provide a home for numerous animals and plants.
  • Air filter: Trees improve air quality by filtering pollutants and producing oxygen.
  • Water storage and filtering: Trees help to purify drinking water and store it in their roots, which is particularly important in times of drought.
  • Recreational space: They offer us humans a place of rest and relaxation, which is important for our mental health.

The Forest in Transition – Climate Change Threatens Our Forests

Unfortunately, our forests are not doing well. The effects of climate change are also clearly noticeable in our local forests. Four out of five trees now have sparse crowns, which is a sign of the stress that the trees are exposed to due to droughts and storms. Climate change weakens the trees and makes them more susceptible to diseases and pests. This not only has an impact on the forest itself, but also on the entire ecosystem. Healthy forests are invaluable to us and the animal world.

Our solution: Plant trees and protect the forest ecosystem

By planting trees, we can counteract the harmful effects of climate change and help our forests to regenerate. Every planting helps to stabilize the forest ecosystem and reduce CO₂ levels in the atmosphere. Our action in Kelsterbach, where 1,000 trees were planted, is a first step, but we know that much more needs to be done. The collaboration with @planted.green shows how important it is to take action together and take responsibility to preserve our planet for future generations.

How you can help

Would you also like to do something for climate protection? Each of us can help protect our environment through small or large contributions. You can plant trees, work to protect nature or support us in our projects. The forest needs us now more than ever and together we can make a difference!

Conclusion: Every tree counts – Together for a greener future

By planting 1,000 trees in Kelsterbach, we are sending a strong signal for climate protection and the preservation of our forests. Trees are more than just green giants in nature - they are indispensable helpers in the fight against climate change. Protect nature with us and help preserve our forests for future generations. Every tree that is planted is a contribution to a better future for our planet.
