Ummanz plants impressive avenues with old tree seeds!

Ummanz, Deutschland - in Ummanz, in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen, an impressive new row of trees were planted on the “Day of the Alleen”. This campaign took place on Tuesday and marks a significant step towards environmental protection and preservation of natural resources. The avenues of the Free School of Rügen from Gingst, the municipality of Ummanz and the BUND for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) took part in the planting campaign.

A total of 30 pines and two oaks along the "Hiddenselick" bike path were planted. It is particularly interesting that the pine descendants come from a "windy petrol pine" protected as a natural monument, which can be found on Rügen in the nearby Semper. This old pine has an impressive trunk circumference of 2.30 meters and a height of 5.50 meters. Mayor Holger Kliewe emphasized the uniqueness of this row of trees, which is unique not only for the region, but for all of Germany.

peculiarities of the project

As part of the “Young Giants” project, descendants are bred from particularly old and resistant trees to secure the genetic resources of these rare tree species. The small freshly planted pines have the potential to develop into the characteristic shape of a wind pelower tree, thanks to the windy conditions behind the dike in Haide. This could lead to an impressive landscape enrichment and at the same time contribute to the increase in biodiversity.

In order to create a full -fledged avenue, the opposite side of the bike path is also to be planted in the coming year. This ongoing initiative for afforestation not only shows the commitment of the local community for environmental protection, but also the desire to find sustainable and innovative solutions for nature in Ummanz. The freshly planted trees are a visible sign of the connection between the residents to their surroundings and their protection.

The avenue will not only improve the aesthetics of the environment, but also bring important ecological advantages. Trees are crucial for the improvement of air quality, offer habitat for numerous animal species and contribute to climate regulation. The initiative to use old tree species shows an awareness of the importance of biodiversity and the preservation of valuable ecosystems.

This planting campaign makes it clear how important it is to invest in the preservation and maintenance of our natural resources - both for the current and future generation. The first small trees that have been planted here are the first step on the way to a more complex program that aims to provide new trees and promote the landscape.
