Improved Forest Management

Technical details

In the climate project “Wendland”, Pina Earth transforms 165 hectares made up of uniform pine forest in Lower-Saxony into a near-natural biodiverse forest. By doing so, the project avoids and removes over 16,000 tons of CO₂ emissions over 30 years from the atmosphere, preparing the forest for future climatic conditions.

The following activities are financed and implemented as part of the climate project:

(1) planting multiple diverse, climate-resilient tree species such as birch, oak, larch, winter lime, hornbeam, (2) supporting the natural rejuvenation of young trees, (3) improving wildlife management

By implementing these activities, the Wendland project drives regional climate protection, while strengthening biodiversity and contributing to society reaching the Paris Agreement.
