“With this project we are helping a new neighborhood to build community and connections through nature, while increase climate resilience in a harsh environment.”
— Pol Sierra, SUGi Forest Maker
Why the city of Griesheim?
This is particularly valuable in this new developing area of the city of Griesheim, which due to local regulations will be exposed to air traffic noise and will have few trees in the streets.
Additionally, the area is exposed to the neighboring arid farmland, which blows dry and dusty air into the area. The forest will contribute to mitigate all these factors and build climate resilience in years to come.
