Planting trees in the Taunus: Neu-Anspach
Thanks to our good collaboration with various forest owners, we have already been able to implement several tree projects in Neu-Anspach.
The forest areas are approx. 35 km from Frankfurt.
Reforestation: ongoing tree project in 2024!
In 2024, we will keep on planting trees in Neu-Anspach. There is enough space for another 1,000 trees here in the Taunus. The total area is 1.56 hectares, while the intact 60-year-old forest is only 0.4 hectares. Douglas fir, coastal fir, sycamore maple, lime and red oak were planted on the damaged area in several stages.
Natural tree sowing let grow individual cherries trees and maples. Last planting season, we planted some sweet chestnuts, a tree species that has been cultivated in Germany for a very long time.It has proven to be very resistant to drought. By mixing these different tree species, the forest is ready to stand and future challenges such as pest infestations, drought or other environmental challenges.
What about you? Would you like to sponsor some trees exclusively for this remaining forest area?
We can meet on-site for PR/marketing reasons for you to take some pictures and symbolically plant a few trees etc.

Planting trees: What we did already
Tree project in Neu-Anspach
In autumn 2023 we planted another 400 trees. We would like to thank the tree sponsor, an established company based in Frankfurt.
5 months after first planting in Neu-Anspach
You might not believe it, but nature can spread extremely quickly. Unfortunately, trees take a little longer… Here you can see a young tree that was planted in March 2023, which is now almost drowned in all the bushes around it. The undergrowth must be cut away regularly in the first few years so that the seedlings survive and do not suffocate in the thicket.
Afforestation in Neu-Anspach
Merz Therapeutics GmbH realized its first tree project with us in Neu-Anspach in spring 2023. The company sponsored 1,000 trees, which were planted by professional forest workers.We met with the forest owner early on a Saturday morning to watch their great work.
Status before tree planting work
This is what it looks like when the area is cleared just before tree planting begins.
Are you also excited about seeing how fast nature and forests can come back? Then get in touch and take on tree sponsorship with your company. We look forward to hearing from you.
