The entire forest area in the Taunus around Frankfurt and Wiesbaden is a valuable local recreation area for everybody living in the Rhine-Main area.Young and old people spend their time in the forests, for example, to hike on the weekend. The forest is in pretty bad condition. You can easily recognize the damage that the heat and drought periods caused in the last few years. Therefore, the forests urgently need our support. Reforestation and afforestation are very important and urgently needed to replace the lost spruce stands with new, climate-resilient mixed trees.
