Project Description and Activities

In the Rosenau project, forest areas in three different federal states are being adapted to biodiverse mixed forests: Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg and Lower Saxony.

On the FSC and PEFC-certified forest areas, pure pine stands are mixed with silver fir, sycamore maple, small-leaved lime, black locust and beech, among others, so that they can better withstand dry summers and climate risks such as forest fires and pests in the future. Adjacent to a nature reserve, the project offers unique diversity and is home to rare and endangered species such as capercaillie, wildcats, white-tailed eagles and wolves.

Why we need forest adaptation

Storms

Forest areas with many tall and thin trees are more susceptible to storm damage (so-called windthrow). If, in addition, most of the trees in a section of forest are the same height, storms can lead to the loss of entire forest sections.

Forest fires

Wind plays a decisive role in the development of forest fires. In row-planted monocultures, the wind can easily push the fire through the stand, which leads to a faster spread of forest fires.
