Wald cleaning day in Bad Kreuznach: Together for healthy forests!

On March 21, the International Day of the Forest, a special day of action will take place in the city forest in Bad Kreuznach. The Waldputztag invites all interested citizens to participate in a garbage collection. This event is organized together with the foresters of the Soonwald forestry forest and should not only raise awareness of the importance of the forests, but also make a practical contribution to forest protection.

The forests are seriously affected by climate change and show different damage images. In order to emphasize the positive role of the forests for human services, the forest cleaning day offers the opportunity to help directly in the city forest and at the same time get valuable information about the forest ecosystem. The meeting point for the campaign is at 10 a.m. on the Kuhberg leisure site. A prior registration is required by March 17th.

forest protection and its challenges

The protection of our forests not only includes measures to combat pests, but also to take into account their diverse functions. forest protection means to preserve the forests and tree stocks from damage that can arise, among other things, by biotic and abiotic factors. The biotic factors include dangerous malicrous insects such as the bark beetle, oak winder and sponge spinner.

These pests not only endanger the wood harvest, but also the entire biodiversity of a forest. Mushroom damage and wild verb are other problems that affect the performance of the forests. In order to minimize the associated risks, a wide range of protective measures are necessary.

role of forests in climate protection

A growing number of studies emphasize how important intact forests are for climate protection. forests contribute significantly to the reduction of CO2 and act as natural carbon sinks. Intact mixed forests are particularly effective because they achieve better CO2 bond through their biodiversity and site-friendly tree species.

forests not only clean air and water, they also offer a habitat for numerous species and contribute to landscape design. However, climate change changes the growth conditions, which requires adaptation of the tree species. In Germany, it is particularly important to accelerate forest conversion in order to reduce the proportion of monocultures and to promote resistant mixed forests.

The restoration of healthy forest ecosystems is seen as a decisive factor for reaching climate goals. Experts emphasize that effective climate protection is not possible without protecting the forests. In order to master the challenges of climate change, investments in forest protection and conversion are essential.

Participation in the forest cleaning day in Bad Kreuznach is not only a way to actively contribute to improving our environment, but also a valuable opportunity to learn more about the challenges and opportunities in the field of forest protection and climate protection.
