New forest in a floodplain – protecting climate, soil, and water
In spring 2025, a new reforestation site was created in Geyer – one of five areas we were able to establish together with the German Forest Protection Association (SDW) in Saxony. In total, 5.85 hectares of new forest were planted. Especially here, in a floodplain, the young forest plays an important role: it helps protect the soil, retain water, and support climate stability in a sensitive region.
About the Geyer afforestation
The afforestation site in Geyer lies in an area prone to flooding. Here, we planted climate-resilient tree species well suited to the local conditions, giving them the best chance to grow strong and stable. This not only creates ecological value but also enhances the quality of life in the region.
To help the young trees establish, a wildlife fence protects them from browsing. The planting itself, along with five years of dedicated care, is carried out by the SDW.
