In the fall, the tree planting campaign of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer entered its 3rd round. Private individuals were able to choose a free deciduous or fruit tree from the town. Last Saturday, the trees ordered could be collected from the depot in Kevelaer. A total of 100 free trees were handed out to citizens by the pilgrimage city.
The tree planting campaign is a concrete opportunity to adapt to climate change. "With the support of the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer, private individuals can actively participate in joint climate protection," says Sébastien Belleil, environmental protection officer at the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer. Because fruit and deciduous trees are good for the climate. They produce oxygen, store carbon and, above all, in a sun-drenched garden, native trees can provide cool shady spots.
It was the last tree planting campaign for the time being. There are no plans to promote free trees next year.
