    A full 95,600 deciduous trees in 2025<\/h2><\/div>

    Hamburg, 18\/12\/25. The environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion associa\u00adtion Trinkwasserwald draws its conclu\u00adsions for 2025: 95,600 deciduous trees of 23 diffe\u00adrent species were planted on 28.15 hectares of conifer-damage sites \u2013 thanks to the generous support of numerous compa\u00adnies, which, despite econo\u00admic\u00adally diffi\u00adcult times, sent a clear signal in favour of environ\u00admental and climate protec\u00adtion. In 2025, a focus was on the Harz, which lost over 90 % of its spruce stands due to drought and bark beetle infesta\u00adtion. Here, the associa\u00adtion made an important contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to the ecolo\u00adgical revita\u00adli\u00adsa\u00adtion of one of Germany\u2019s most severely damaged forest regions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n

    Trinkwasserwald thanks all supporters again in 2024<\/h2><\/div>

    Hamburg, 21\/01\/2025. Trinkwasserwald e.V. thanks all supporters for their wonderful commit\u00adment in 2024. After the drought of recent years, which claimed over 500,000 hectares of forest, with the support of compa\u00adnies as well as 618 adults and 42 children in 43 environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion actions, a total of 22.9 hectares of forest were replanted \u2013 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 diffe\u00adrent species were planted. These Trink\u00adwas\u00adser\u00adwater forests will in future increase ground\u00adwater recharge by 18,320,000.00 litres per year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n

    2023 sees further Trink\u00adwasser forests grow<\/h2><\/div>

    Hamburg, 12 January 2024. Trinkwasserwald would like to express its sincere thanks to all children and adults as well as the compa\u00adnies that, with their donations and active support in the forest, contri\u00adbuted to the near-natural planting of further damaged areas that died during the drought years. 82 children and 776 adults took part in 38 environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion actions and played their part in planting 81,455 trees of 27 diffe\u00adrent species. These new Trink\u00adwasser forests with an area of 26 ha will in future increase drinking water yield by 20,768,000 L per year. THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n

    57.4 ha of Trink\u00adwasser forests in 2022<\/h2><\/div>

    Hamburg, 15 January 2023. In 2022, with the support and volun\u00adtary commit\u00adment of 1,337 children and adults, 57.4 ha of conifer forest were converted into species-rich mixed deciduous forest. A total of 204,315 trees and shrubs of 34 diffe\u00adrent species were planted. On average across Germany, the forest conver\u00adsion will achieve a future increase in high-quality drinking water of 45,960,000 litres per year. A total of 51 environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion actions took place. Accom\u00adpanying environ\u00admental educa\u00adtion deepened parti\u00adci\u00adpants\u2019 under\u00adstan\u00adding of the forest ecosystem, the importance of biodi\u00adver\u00adsity, soils and the protec\u00adtion of nature and its natural resources.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n

    The final LZ-Bl\u00e4tter\u00adwald planting in the L\u00fcneburg Heath<\/h2><\/div>

    Nahren\u00addorf and Toster\u00adglope, 06 November 2022. Today the final LZ-Bl\u00e4tter\u00adwald planting takes place. For 15 years, Trinkwasserwald e.V. and LZ Landes\u00adzei\u00adtung f\u00fcr die L\u00fcneburger Heide have jointly run the LZ-Bl\u00e4tter\u00adwald environ\u00admental campaign, with wonderfully strong support from the local popula\u00adtion. More than 93,000 deciduous trees have been planted since 2007 thanks to the support of LZ readers and subscri\u00adbers, local compa\u00adnies and many, many volun\u00adteers. The LZ-Bl\u00e4tter\u00adw\u00e4lder now grow in former conifer forests, with the aim of incre\u00adasing the amount of available ground\u00adwater and signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly impro\u00adving its quality. By planting site-appro\u00adpriate, climate-resilient deciduous trees in conifer forests, not only is ground\u00adwater recharge improved. The resul\u00adting mixed deciduous forests are also good for biodi\u00adver\u00adsity, soil ferti\u00adlity and the climate.
    \nAt the final planting of the LZ-Bl\u00e4tter\u00adwald in November 2022, almost 200 volun\u00adteers planted more than 3,000 deciduous trees (small-leaved limes, hornbeams and English oaks) in the two munici\u00adpa\u00adli\u00adties of Nahren\u00addorf and Toster\u00adglope. Where a spruce forest once stood, which had died due to drought and the resul\u00adting severe bark beetle infesta\u00adtion, a stable mixed deciduous forest is now growing there.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1806","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPresse -
