Our tree nursery in Patag is being expanded. 35,000 mahogany seedlings are used for the next plantings.
That‘s right. Always hold plant pots by the bottom or the side, never by the seedling!
We can plant and plant. We have almost infinite space.
Our new campaign for 2021 is sealed: trees in schoolyards.

Mangroven
Our activities with the mangroves are gratifyingly successful. At the moment we are concentrating exclusively on the plantings in Mati, because one million mangroves are no at small operation.
In order to ensure that nature is helped in a species-appropriate manner, the right varieties for the areas to be planted are determined under the leadership of the local colleg
e. Fortunately, many families are involved in the campaign and it is a pleasure to know that we are bringing work to the villages through the small family tree nurseries. The money earned for the seedlings mostly benefits the children, because almost everywhere the school conditions are adapted to the Corona restrictions. The children therefore need more school materials because the lessons have a modular structure and the documents have to be picked up and handed in once a week. And that at a time when the parents are financially worse off because their jobs have often collapsed. Mangroves not only help nature and the climate, but also directly help the people who work with us on this unique campaign.
