To counteract this, the "Wald setzen jetzt!" campaign was launched. It offers a simple and effective way for forest owners, companies and private individuals to make a joint contribution to the protection and preservation of our forests.
The initiative: reforestation for climate protection
"Wald setzen jetzt!" is a broad-based reforestation initiative with the aim of revitalising Austria's forests. Through targeted tree planting, areas damaged by environmental influences are to be revitalised and transformed into resilient, climate-stable forests. The initiative offers both forest owners and companies the opportunity to actively participate in reforestation.
Setting forests for forest owners
For forest owners, "Wald setzen jetzt!" offers an uncomplicated way to reforest their damaged forest areas and secure them for the future. The initiative gives them access to expert support in the form of planting measures and funding opportunities. The process is transparent and simple:
- Registration and advice: forest owners register their areas online and receive comprehensive advice. The condition of the affected forest area is analysed and a suitable planting plan is drawn up. Particular attention is paid to the selection of climate-resilient tree species to ensure long-term success.
- Financing and implementation: The reforestation measures are largely financed by companies and donations. Forest owners can thus participate in the reforestation free of charge or for a small personal contribution. Professional planting is carried out by experts who ensure that all steps are carried out professionally.
- Long-term support: The support does not end after planting. "Wald setzen jetzt!" also offers support in the following years with the care and protection of the newly planted forest areas. This ensures that the young trees have the best possible starting conditions.
Through this targeted approach, forest owners can not only rebuild their forests, but also make them climate-ready, which brings long-term economic benefits.
Green responsibility for companies
Companies are also increasingly interested in sustainability and climate protection. The initiative offers them the opportunity to actively contribute to climate protection through targeted reforestation measures and at the same time fulfil their ecological responsibility. The process for companies is just as simple:
- Support through donations or sponsorship: companies can financially support the reforestation campaigns of "Wald setzen jetzt!". They can make both one-off and regular contributions. These funds flow directly into the planting and maintenance of the newly planted forests.
- Sustainability communication: Companies that take part in the initiative also benefit in terms of public relations. They can communicate their commitment to environmental and climate protection credibly and transparently to the outside world. "Wald setzen jetzt!" provides the relevant certificates and evidence that can be integrated into communication as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR).
- Employee campaigns and team building: The initiative also offers companies the opportunity to organise their own planting campaigns. Here, employees can actively participate, which not only supports climate protection but also strengthens team spirit. Such team events offer a practical opportunity to engage with the topic of sustainability and make a direct contribution at the same time.
Together for the forest
The "Set Forests Now!" campaign is a great example of an initiative that not only aims to protect our forests, but also actively involves people and companies. It shows how important it is to take joint action against the consequences of climate change.
