Josef Edlinger, the chairman of the Leader region, was pleased with the high level of participation: "We are happy about the great interest and the new record. The planting campaign is not only a profit for regional agriculture, but also for the environment." These developments confirm the trend that more and more people are discovering the advantages of their own fruit tree.

Numerous personalities and supporters of the LEADER region were actively involved in the latest planting campaign. Among them were Josef Edlinger, Martin Hauer, Nadine Wurm, Franz Edlinger, and many more. This community campaign shows how important the commitment of the local population is for environmental protection and agriculture. The collected interest has the potential to shape the local landscape sustainably.

With the steadily growing number of planted trees, the regional biodiversity is also promoted. Many citizens are ready to contribute to the greening of their surroundings and thus support ecological projects that counteract the climatic challenges of the future.
