Last winter,1,6 million trees were planted - double the amount that were planted in previous years - as the first step of the new 10-year plan. Trees will be planted by State Forest Management (Staatsbosbeheer) and provinces and organisations across the country in an effort to combat climate change and keep CO2 levels under control.
The plans for winter 2020 will see State Forest Management plant 200 hectares of forest, with 500 hectares planted every winter thereafter. For context: 500 hectares amounts to approximately two million trees. The organisation hopes to plant 5.000 hectares of new forest by 2030.
