A new forest on former farmland: climate action and education go hand in hand
Our first afforestation project in Bavaria is located in Karlstadt – on a 4.09-hectare former farmland distinguished by its unique location as an “island” within the existing forest area. The goal was to plant a climate-resilient mixed deciduous forest that can withstand climate change in the long term while also providing ecological, social, and educational benefits.

Our objectives for this site
- Climate, soil, and water protection through site-appropriate, drought-resistant tree species
- Increasing forest cover in a structurally poor and forest-scarce region on formerly agricultural land
- Establishment of a climate-resilient deciduous forest that ensures long-term stable ecosystem services
- Enhancement of recreational opportunities and quality of life for the local population
- Environmental education and involvement of young people in active climate protection measures
