In the Harz, huge spruce forests have died back due to drought, storms and bark beetles. Young people see these areas and feel power\u00adless. With \u201eWater Grows in the Forest\u201d we want to give them something to hold in their hands: a spade.<\/p>\n
Around 40 pupils from a school in the Harz are to plant 1,000 deciduous trees together with their teachers in autumn 2027. They will experi\u00adence: my actions make a diffe\u00adrence. This sense of self-efficacy streng\u00adthens confi\u00addence, and anyone who plants a tree themselves feels connected to the forest. On a forest educa\u00adtion tour, they will also learn what the forest does for us: it filters and stores water, cools the climate and provides habitat. Because only those who know the forest and under\u00adstand its value will protect it in the long term, because they want to \u2013 not because they have to.<\/p>\n

Deciduous forests are considered climate-resilient and, unlike conife\u00adrous forests, can generate signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly more ground\u00adwater, because conife\u00adrous trees retain preci\u00adpi\u00adta\u00adtion in the canopy, where a large propor\u00adtion evapo\u00adrates. Studies and model\u00adling show that a deciduous forest can improve ground\u00adwater recharge by 500,000 to 1,200,000 litres per year and hectare compared with pure conifer stands.<\/p>\n
Your donation makes it possible for the pupils to plant, with seedlings, soil prepa\u00adra\u00adtion, protec\u00adtion from wildlife, the planting action inclu\u00adding environ\u00admental educa\u00adtion, bus trans\u00adport and follow-up monito\u00adring of the area. Our goal on Giving Tuesday: \u20ac8,000, so that the pupils can plant a climate-resilient deciduous forest that supports ground\u00adwater recharge.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
