Hamburg, 21/01/2025. Trinkwasserwald e.V. thanks all supporters for their wonderful commit­ment in 2024. After the drought of recent years, which claimed over 500,000 hectares of forest, with the support of compa­nies as well as 618 adults and 42 children in 43 environ­mental protec­tion actions, a total of 22.9 hectares of forest were replanted – mainly on damaged areas that had been created by drought and bark beetles in recent years. A bright spot! In total, 79,685 trees of 19 diffe­rent species were planted. These Trink­was­ser­water forests will in future increase ground­water recharge by 18,320,000.00 litres per year.
