New forests on private land in Denmark

The forests are planted on private land owned by water utilities, churches, institutions and private landowners.

The forests are planted in collaboration with our professional forester who is responsible for the planning and construction of new forests planted on private land. After 2 years of establishment care, the landowner is responsible for the future care. The new forests are subject to a peace forest obligation that secures these in the future in accordance with the Forest Act. The forests can contribute to:

• CO2 storage and counteracting global warming.
• Ensuring clean drinking water when planted over important groundwater reservoirs.
• More nature and increased biodiversity.
• Creation of new recreational areas.

The effect of a forest depends on geographical location, local conditions and future management.

New forests are established with trees donated by citizens, companies, organizations, foundations etc.

The donations finance:

• Preparation of soil and purchase of plants.
• Planting of up to 4,000 trees per hectare on areas where trees are planted.
  In addition, the forests can contain paths, lakes and green areas.
• Possible fencing around the forest in the first years. A requirement that ensures that the donated trees are not eaten by wildlife.
• 2 years of establishment care ensuring the best possible growing conditions for the trees.
