At the flowering area, just to the left of the end of Alling on Weidenlohstraße, there is now an information board about the service tree, next to it is a box with brochures to take away.

Alling - You can marvel at the native deciduous tree in real life right on the edge of the flowering area.

The building yard planted a few specimens there.

“Walkers can use this board, which we designed together with the AELF (Agriculture and Forestry Office) initiative, to find out more.

And you get an idea of ​​how beautiful these young, slender trees will one day be,” says Mayor Stefan Joachimsthaler.

The service berries are valuable for the forest of the future because they can tolerate dry periods well, explains the head of the town hall.

This tree species was therefore also planted in other places in the municipal forest.

The mayor is thereby making good on a campaign promise: he has a tree planted for every newborn baby in the community.

Sebastian Winter, project manager of the future forest initiative of the AELF Fürstenfeldbruck, and his colleague Lara Rösel provide advice and support with the new planting.

Before spring 2023, the municipality, in cooperation with the AELF FFB, will plant more serviceberries in various places in Alling.

These come from the offspring of the "Fünf-Seen-Servicesberry" and are bred from seeds of already native serviceberries.

On the one hand they tolerate dryness and heat, and on the other hand they are already used to the rougher climate in the foothills of the Alps.

"Our forest of the future will be a little richer and more stable again," says Mayor Joachimsthaler happily.
