CDU politician Bastian Ernst: Forest protection for future generations!

In the picturesque forest areas Braker Sand and Hatter Wald in the district of Oldenburg, the CDU member of the Bundestag, Bastian Ernst met with district forester Marcus Hoffmann. The aim of the meeting was to talk about the significant measures to improve the forest population. The role of the forests for climate, ecology and relaxation, which are indispensable for the region, was particularly emphasized. Delmenews reports of an exciting exchange.

In the Braker Sand, 20,000 new trees were planted on an area of ​​impressive five hectares last autumn. The declared goal of this initiative is to create a species -rich mixed forest. Weekly plant actions were necessary to accommodate the seedlings properly. This reforestation is part of a comprehensive strategy to strengthen the resistance of the forest population against climate change.

economy meets ecology

Bastian Ernst and Marcus Hoffmann emphasized how important it is to protect and manage forests sustainably. "The work of the Lower Saxony State Forests impressively shows that economy and ecology can go hand in hand," emphasized Ernst. In fact, forests not only act as an important economic factor, they are also essential for CO2 storage and as a living space and retreat for numerous species.

The Lower Saxony State Forestry rely on a mission statement that promotes sustainable development in economic, ecological and social terms. The responsibility of the generations in dealing with forest wealth is a central topic. Getting the forest for future generations is more than just a nice thought; It is an urgent necessity, especially given the worrying state of some forests in Germany, such as in the Harz.

reforestation and climate change

reforestation measures nowadays play an increasingly important role in combating climate change. These range from planting of native and non-local tree species to special projects that aim to promote more robust mixed and deciduous forests. According to the Federal Environment Agency , Douglasien plantations are central, although they are also controversial in the professional world and have both ecological and economic risks.

Research on forestry plays a crucial role: In recent years, numerous projects have been launched that deal with the effects of climate change on the forests. Scientists deal with questions such as choice of tree species, water management and crop protection in order to be able to better counter the challenges such as drought and pests. This shows, among other things, the project of the competence and information center forest and wood (kiwuh), which is sensibly coordinated by various aspects of sustainable forestry.

The way to the future

A future -oriented concept that focuses on is the combination of planting and seed to minimize the failure rates. Over the coming years, this strategy could make a decisive contribution to mastering the challenges that climate change places on forestry. The importance of biodiversity in growing forests also becomes clear. The population shows interest in reforestation measures, especially if local tree species are favored that not only strengthen biodiversity, but also increases the recreational value.

A good hand in dealing with our forests can be crucial in the long term for how well we have grown to the challenges of the future. Ultimately, it requires a rethink to protect and preserve the valuable resources forest not only today, but also in the coming generations. The community is asked here - because as they say so beautifully: "We are strong together".
