Stangengrün

Three hectares of new mixed forest for stable ecosystems

In Stangengrün, another area of the Saxony-wide reforestation project was planted in spring 2025. Together with SDW, ForTomorrow has created a total of 5.85 hectares of new forest area in flood-prone areas of Saxony.

The area in Stangengrün is located on a slope and is particularly vulnerable to soil erosion and water runoff. Targeted planting is creating a structurally rich, climate-resilient mixed forest here.

A wildlife fence was erected to protect the young saplings from browsing. The goal of this project funding is to ensure that the saplings grow up protected until they are established and can develop into young, sturdy trees.

The other tree species mentioned above are part of a natural forest edge landscape consisting of a total of 250 hawthorn, hazel, spindle, common snowball, and red dogwood shrubs.

Timeline

Completion of the initial afforestation project in Stangengrün in collaboration with the Saxony chapter of the German Forest Protection Association.

First site check by the SDW: The area looks great, despite very little rainfall in July. The survival rate of the young trees is over 95%.

Field inspection by SDW after one year: So far, good tree growth is evident due to favorable weather conditions.
