Tree plant challenge in the Traunstein district: fire brigades in action!

In the district of Traunstein, a fascinating “tree planting Challenge” has currently established itself among the fire brigades, which is enjoying growing popularity. This initiative has led to planting numerous young trees in the region. The Traunstein district fire brigade association, which acts in the picturesque holiday region between the Chiemgau Alps and numerous lakes, has actively participated in this challenge and has been nominated several times by other organizations. The nominations included the Altötting counties and the Maltese relief service. A highlight of the challenge is the planting of an apple tree at the new fire station in Seon.

District fire councilor Christof Grundner emphasizes the meaning and positive influence of this initiative on nature and environmental protection. The nomination of the fire brigades included the practical task of planting a tree within a week, which stimulates the participants for active participation. The planting campaign was also documented in an Instagram video, which enlarged the range of the challenge.

award and nominations

After the first planting campaign, three other organizations were nominated for participation, including the Berchtesgadener Land district fire brigade association. The district fire brigade association Mühldorf and the district fire brigade command Braunau also received the nomination, which extends the series of colleagues. The responsible people emphasize that the commitment of the fire brigades goes beyond the classic emergencies and a social component is created in the campaign. Despite the uncertain long -term continuation of the challenge, the positive contribution of the newly planted trees for climate protection is clearly emphasized.

A total of 15,000 members in fire brigade associations are active in the Traunstein district, including 4,700 emergency services and around 900 children and adolescents who work in 80 fire departments. The promotion of child and youth work is based on such a commitment that is supported by numerous training and further education offers. Events such as the “Day of the Youth Fire Brigade” and youth tent camp not only forcing the transfer of knowledge, but also the team spirit among the participants, which is further strengthened by the active member communication strategies of the district fire brigade association.

Contribution to climate protection

The tree plantings are not an isolated initiative, but are in a larger context of environmental protection. Nature conservation organizations such as the WWF emphasize the importance of sustainable management and the creation of natural habitats. The support of natural forests contributes to saving CO2 efficiently and promoting biodiversity. These principles are reflected in the tree planting Challenge, which not only pursues short -term goals, but also strives for long -term solutions for the future of forest areas and the climate. Such a procedure promotes the conversion of softwood monocultures into structural, sustainable forests, which is of essential importance for the Traunstein region.
