City's Fruit Planting Initiative Kicks Off in 2024
In the picturesque town of Pforzheim, located in the southwestern part of Germany, two exciting initiatives are underway for orchard owners and nature enthusiasts alike. The Fruit Tree Planting Action and the "1000 Climate Trees for Pforzheim" project are offering a variety of trees and shrubs for planting, with a focus on climate-resistant varieties and wild hedges.
The Fruit Tree Planting Action, first initiated in 1992, has been providing trees and shrubs for orchard owners through the Environmental Protection Agency and the Green Space and Civil Engineering Office. Over the years, the range of offers has expanded to adapt to the changing climate, with the addition of wild hedges and climate-resistant varieties this year. Interested parties can download the order forms from the dedicated website at [www.pforzheim.de/stadt/umwelt-natur/naturschutz/streuobstwiesen/obstbaumpflanzaktion.html](www.pforzheim.de/stadt/umwelt-natur/naturschutz/streuobstwiesen/obstbaumpflanzaktion.html).
The order forms differ for those living north and south of the Enz river. The goal is to preserve and develop traditional orchard stands, enrich the landscape structure without interfering with agricultural areas, and offer hedge shrubs for this purpose. The ordered trees will be distributed on October 18, 2024, between 9 and 11 am at the operating yard of the Green Space and Civil Engineering Office, Hohwiesenweg 40. Since the initiative began, around 7,000 fruit tree standards have found a new home.
In addition to the Fruit Tree Planting Action, the "1000 Climate Trees for Pforzheim" project aims to plant 1,000 trees over the next three years.
