Together with Klimapatenschaft GmbH, we supported a reforestation project that was completed in April 2024. A sign in the forest provides information about the renaturation project.

All forest types have important properties for the ecological cycles of nature. Mixed forests with a variety of tree species are more resistant to storms and pests than monocultures, and their more diverse structures provide varied habitats.

The composition of a forest also plays a role in groundwater formation, which occurs mainly in autumn and winter when precipitation is higher. Deciduous trees carry their leaves for only half the year and root more deeply than conifers, and a thinner canopy lets more precipitation through. Under dense grass and moss, rainwater evaporates instead of percolating.
