Tree Planting, Maintenance & Care
Planting Native Species
Our program focuses on oak varieties for their resilience, long lifespan, and exceptional ability for CO2 sequestration. We also plant chestnut, beech, and other regional species.
Saplings that are two to three years old are used, planted at approximately 3 x 3 meter spacing. Young trees receive protective tubes made from recycled materials with sturdy stakes against wind and deer browsing.
The Work After Planting
Within 8 to 10 years, a dense canopy forms that naturally suppresses weeds and invasive plants. But the true work begins after the saplings are in the ground.
Young trees require 2-3 annual maintenance visits to combat invasive vegetation like brambles, thorns, and ivy. Electric trimmers, garden shears, and forest hoes remove weeds manually, while native plants like ferns are preserved for shade generation.
Years of Dedication
A minimum care period of 8 years is needed until oaks and deciduous trees become competitive against invasive species.
Human intervention is necessary to reverse decades of degradation. Without consistent maintenance, invasive plants would quickly overtake the young saplings, undoing all restoration progress.
Planting Together
Tree planting is a community effort. Volunteers, local partners, and our team work side by side during planting seasons, turning degraded land into future forests.
Each planting event brings people closer to nature and to each other, creating lasting connections between communities and the landscapes they help restore.
