Plant trees. Save the climate.
“The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now!”
In cooperation with the Saxony-Anhalt regional association of the German Forest Protection Association (SDW), the city marketing company (SMG) was able to plant its wildlings today and thus fulfill its promise to all package tour guests in Dessau-Roßlau.
SMG has been taking part in the tree donation campaign for almost two years now. For every package tour booked via our website or by telephone, we donate a tree to the SDW.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the middle of the biosphere reserve, we are aware of the importance of climate protection and want to do our part. The forest is one of the most natural habitats. It provides food and shelter for numerous animal and plant species. In densely populated cultural landscapes, it is even the only possible habitat for many animals. For humans, the forest is not only a supplier of raw materials, but also a place of relaxation and recreation – a place to breathe and recharge one’s batteries. As a complex ecosystem, the forest makes a decisive contribution to stabilizing the biological balance and thus secures our livelihoods.
The Saxony-Anhalt regional association of the Schutzgemeinschaft Deutscher Wald (SDW Saxony-Anhalt) has been committed to forest issues since it was founded in December 1990. As an independent, non-governmental and predominantly volunteer-based organization and recognized nature conservation association, the SDW is committed to the protection, conservation and restoration of natural habitats, biodiversity and the sustainable use of local forests in a way that is compatible with nature.
Tree planting has been part of the SDW’s activities for almost 75 years. The spectrum ranges from planting wildlings to stately trees in cities or along avenues.
As a result of climate change, 277,000 hectares of our forests are so severely damaged that they can no longer fulfill their cultural, ecological and economic function. This is why the SDW is planting trees throughout Germany to counteract the extensive loss of forest areas and restore the necessary forest functions as quickly as possible.
The variety of tree species planted creates climate-stable mixed forests. In addition, our tree planting campaigns and maintenance measures enable citizens to become active in forest protection themselves and thus shape their relationship with the forest in the long term. (SDW)
