Planting action in Männedorf (ZH) – results

Restoration, Switzerland

🌳 80 new native trees planted in our action in Männerdorf, Switzerland! 🌳

Another great afternoon, planting 🌳 trees 🌳 in the Zurich area and boosting the biodiversity of the local forests as part of our Make it Green project in Switzerland.
This time, we were in the Mãnnedorf section of the Pfannenstiel, overlooking the lake. Together with a dedicated group of employees from Edwards Lifesciences and in collaboration with the local forester and local partners, we planted 80 native trees and bushes along the forest edge, removed neophytes and created piles of dead wood. These measures increase 🐝 local biodiversity 🦉and resilience, create more habitats for different species and soften the usually hard transition between managed forests and open fields.
The planting action ended with a refreshing apéro in the forest, organised by us, and a group dinner at a nearby restaurant, with a great view of the Zurich lake. All in all, great team spirit and solid work from those involved 🤩. A big thank you to all the participants! 🙏
