Augsburg's green climate protection: Citizens plant trees for the future!

Behringerstraße 33, 86165 Augsburg, Deutschland - The city of Augsburg has taken a significant step towards climate protection by successfully planting the first donation trees. Under the direction of environmental officer Reiner Erben and the tree dispenser Christine Wilholm, two donor trees and 28 other trees from urban means were placed on a meadow between Behringerstraße 33 and Osram-Steg at the beginning of the month. This initiative is in the context of larger projects that aim to strengthen the resilience of the urban green spaces compared to the effects of climate change, such as B4B Schwaben reported.

A total of 76 new tree locations along the Lech from the Afrabrücke to the Hammerschmiedeweg were determined. The selection of climate silicians tree species takes place, taking into account the spatial conditions and belonging to the urban green structure. It is ensured that excessive shading is avoided and that a harmonious interaction between treble groups and open meadow areas is preserved. Further plantings will already be planned next year, in which interested citizens can also provide financial support, such as augsburg.de

commitment of the citizens is asked

The city of Augsburg calls for active participation and motivates citizens to participate in the project by donating. The donation for a new tree, including planting and three years of watering, is 2,400 euros. There is also the possibility to donate smaller amounts or to merging in donation communities. In order to further inform the citizens, walks on the new tree locations are offered, in which environmentally conscious Augsburgers can discuss the plant projects together with the environmental officer. These events not only offer the chance to learn more about the new tree structure, but also strengthen the feeling of community.
