5,000 trees in Lindlar
August 2023 | This year, we are once again supporting the Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald (German Forest Protection Association), which is just around the corner. In March 2023, sessile oaks and beeches, wild cherries, winter lime trees, and Turkish hazels were planted in Lindlar; 100 wild apple trees and 350 various shrub varieties were planted at the edge of the forest, for a total of 5,000 plants. As is usual in the Rhineland, there are several small areas that are part of a forestry association and are managed by the state forestry administration. On site in August, we were delighted to see how well the plants, such as the Turkish hazel, relatively unknown in Germany, were doing. In autumn, there will be pruning so that ferns and brambles that have grown quickly in the recent wet weather do not overwhelm the young plants.
