Project Description
In 2020 the former grassland located in the north of Germany was purchased by our foundation: PLANT-MY-TREE. Die Stiftung. We obtained the rights to start afforestation and started planting 17 unique tree species in the same year (English oaks, copper beeches, Japanese larches, sycamore maples, hornbeams, coastal firs, sessile oaks, hazelnuts, red dogwoods, black elderberries, cornelian cherries, buckthorns, weeping cherries, deciduous trees, crab apples, cultivated pears, willows). Our foundation guarantees that the trees will never be subject to deforestation – even beyond the project duration. This project is exceptional as it is one of the rare cases that it allows for additionality in Germany. This area wasn‘t counted in national carbon goals since it was registered as grassland and not as forest before and reforestation wasn‘t legally required.
Stakeholders and local communities involved in the project
As this project is designed to generate carbon credits, our stakeholders are mainly our buyers. The planting was accomplished by our staff and by the help of Thomsen, a local car garage. This project has been approved by the county nature conservation authority and is being monitored by our staff as well as our contracted forester on a regular basis.
Project Goals
Like this project, our foundation acquires various natural areas such as forests, moors and meadows, mainly in Germany. The areas afforested by PLANT-MY-TREE® and belonging to the foundation are developed into healthy mixed forests that are preserved indefinitely. In this way, we create, expand and protect vital habitats for plants, insects and animals for the nature of tomorrow.
Co-benefits
Plant events were used to sensitize employees of the local car garage to sustainability. We expect this project to be a forest that the coming generation of the local community can enjoy.
