German climbers replant alpine forests while sharing mountain tales

For the past ten years, members of the Pfronten branch of the German Alpine Club (DAV) have been planting young trees in the region’s mountain forests. Their efforts were recently highlighted at a local event where climbers and outdoor enthusiasts shared personal adventures.

The initiative to replant trees in alpine forests began a decade ago as part of the DAV Pfronten’s environmental work. Volunteers have since contributed to restoring wooded areas, though no specific details about the scale or locations were provided.

The tree-planting project continues as part of the DAV Pfronten’s commitment to mountain conservation. Meanwhile, the club’s storytelling evenings offer a platform for members to share their experiences in the Alps. The events combine environmental action with a celebration of outdoor adventure.
