Some children came up with the idea of planting a tree during a walk through the district as part of a project day on sustainability. With the support of their class teacher, they contacted the city. At short notice, the Office for the Environment and Urban Greenery supported the project. It provided the tree, a silver willow, and showed the primary school children how to plant a tree properly.
Office for the Environment and Urban Greenery demonstrates professional tree planting
Ludwig Klein and Rolf Dung from the Office for the Environment and Urban Greenery welcomed the primary school children and their teachers in the morning at the pond of Grünzug Nord in the Tannenbusch district and informed them about the individual steps involved in planting trees. The children were allowed to get to work themselves with shovels. They helped to dig the hole for planting the silver willow. The children not only learned a lot about tree planting, but also, for example, why trees are important for the environment and nature.
