New roots for resilient terrain

In spring 2025, we planted young deciduous trees in Leubetha together with the SDW. The project is part of our Saxony-wide initiative, creating a total of 5.85 hectares of new forest. The site in Leubetha lies in a flood-prone area – here, the planted trees not only demonstrate their ecological value but also help make the terrain more resilient.

About the Leubetha afforestation

A sturdy wildlife fence protects the site, giving the young trees space to take root and grow into a thriving forest. The SDW carried out the planting and continues to care for the area – gradually transforming it into a resilient, healthy forest.

Timeline

First photos by the SDW in August 2025: Despite drought stress, the survival rate is around 75%.
During the first check by the SDW in August 2025, initial results became visible: Despite drought stress, around 75% of the young trees have survived, and the site is already starting to develop into a healthy, resilient forest.
