The entire area around the large Feldberg is an important local recreation area for the population of the Rhine-Main area. It must be protected permanently. Reforestation is necessary because the former spruce stands that grew there were attacked by bark beetles and are now being replaced by climate-resilient mixed stands.
Feldberg afforestation details:
- Total size of the afforestation area: 2.3 hectares
- Location: Weilsberg, in the Feldberg District (division 2323)
- Responsible forest office: HessenForst, Forest Office, Königstein
- 15,000 sessile oaks, hornbeams, and copper beeches were planted here in 2022
