NRW Plants Initiative Aims to Revive Forests with 1,000 Trees per City
North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister-President Hendrik Wüst has backed the NRW Plants initiative, aiming to plant at least 1,000 trees in each of the state's 396 cities and municipalities. More than 50 municipalities have already joined the project, led by the Robin Wood Foundation.
The initiative kicked off in a 3,000-square-meter area along Am Busch Road, which was previously densely populated with deciduous trees. Unfortunately, severe climate change and sooty bark disease led to the felling of numerous damaged trees. Now, the site is being transformed with newly planted European beeches, lindens, and oaks. A few remaining healthy oaks provide shelter and shade for the young saplings.
The city's forestry department selected this municipal plot near Boisheim for reforestation. The goal is to involve citizens, businesses, schools, and local organizations in this greening effort.
The NRW Plants initiative, under the patronage of Minister-President Hendrik Wüst, aims to significantly increase the state's tree population. With more than 50 municipalities already on board, the project is well on its way to planting at least 1,000 trees in each city and municipality, fostering a greener future for North Rhine-Westphalia.
