In the Lower Allgäu, larger mixed forests should contribute effectively to climate protection. Around five million trees are planted every year in the Bavarian state forests.
By 2025 there should be a total of 30 million new trees, with a focus on particularly climate-tolerant tree species such as the oak. Depending on the growth, one hectare of forest binds around ten tons of CO2 every year, says Johannes Kutter from AELF Krumbach-Mindelheim.
