On 21 March, World Forestry Day, something very special happens in the Harz: children and parents write the future together. Just one day before World Water Day, we all get stuck in together \u2013 with spades, broad\u00adleaf saplings and hearts full of hope.<\/p>\n
The non-profit organi\u00adsa\u00adtion Trinkwasserwald invites pupils from a primary school in the Harz and their families to a tree-planting event. Up to 50 adults and children can help us plant young broad\u00adleaf trees that will provide not only shade, but life too: every broad\u00adleaf tree planted promotes biodi\u00adver\u00adsity, streng\u00adthens humus forma\u00adtion and the soil\u2019s ability to absorb water \u2013 so that the rain can become our drinking water of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Ahead of time, Trinkwasserwald e. V. will visit the school to talk with the pupils about the forests that are so important to us: we depend on their timber, on the habitat they provide for a variety of species, on the ground\u00adwater they generate, and on the CO\u2082 they bind. Only with the support of many can we create more mixed broad\u00adleaf forests that are climate-resilient and rich in species. In this way, young and old help to create a society fit for the future.<\/p>\n
The fact that our action takes place exactly one day before World Water Day is no coinci\u00addence: mixed broad\u00adleaf forest is the invisible water reser\u00advoir that quietly and powerfully nourishes ground\u00adwater and springs. By replan\u00adting it where forest has died, we protect life itself \u2013 together with the children, because it is about their future.<\/p>\n
This action is only possible thanks to your donation. The tree-planting event is financed solely by donations \u2013 and every euro donated is used carefully to prepare the site, buy saplings, ensure protec\u00adtion from wild animals, enable environ\u00admental educa\u00adtion, and organise both the joint environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion action and the tools needed for it. Because we are not just planting trees \u2013 we are creating habitats, places of learning and shared commit\u00adment \u2013 for you and your family.<\/p>\n
A day in the forest \u2013 for genera\u00adtions to come.
\nCan\u2019t be there? Even then you can make a diffe\u00adrence. With a donation, you enable children to plant trees \u2013 so the environ\u00admental protec\u00adtion action in the Harz can be repeated next year for further school classes.<\/p>\n
