    Tips

    November 27, 2023

    The extreme forest damage in the Hessian forests covering an area of around 30,000 hectares (as of June 2021) prompted accadis Bildungs GmbH and the initiators of the Herzenswald Schmitten to launch the educational forest project and thus set an example for reforestation in the Taunus set.
    A climate-resistant and resilient forest is being created with tree species that can cope with the changing conditions. These include, for example: E.g. wild cherry, wild apple, wild pear and sycamore maple. With their flowers and fruits, these attract the insects and birds that are so important for the forest. This is the only way to ensure that the forest will continue to serve future generations as a climate protector, source of wood, and a place for recreation and living space.
    The first joint planting campaign took place in spring 2022: the schoolchildren and students planted donated trees together on a cleared forest area near the Naturfreundehaus Homburger Haus.
