About
97 per cent of Germany's forests are being used commercially to some degree. In addition to protecting natural forests, we as a society must
reinvent and restructure commercially used forests. In the mid to long term, they have to become as close to natural forests as possible.
With the
TPP Platform,
a local community of volunteers and financing via donations and state grants, it is possible to start
regional reforestation efforts, manage and steer them.
The TPP Platform is provided by the TPP gUG. Currently, about fifteen volunteers are working to maintain and develop it.
To grow, we need additional (wo)manpower. Freelancers contribute their expertise in
marketing, development, law, taxation, etc. A network of
local organizers supports an increasing number of projects.
The land we work with is either provided by private owners or bought by TPP (to create natural forests).
Because
we take the quality of our work seriously, we always collaborate with local organizations and businesses who know the region. Our partners are
associations of forest owners (Forstbetriebsgemeinschaften/Waldbesitzervereinigungen) and
government agencies such as the
Office for Food, Agriculture and Forests Amt für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Forsten (
Office for Food, Agriculture and Forestry)
and the
Amt für ländliche Entwicklung (
Office for Rural Development). Among our
interregional partners are
Schutzgemeinschaft deutscher Wald and
Deutschland forstet auf.
We create
resilient mixed forests that can take on the challenges of climate change and either
use them sustainably or leave them untouched until they become natural forests. In both cases, we let nature guide us to protect the climate and environment.
At our volunteer tree planting events, you can meet like-minded people, have a good time working outside, and give something back to nature.Currently, we are busy conquering Bavaria, but our projects will soon become available in other federal states.
Every donation helps us grow and increases our productivity. The goal is to plant as many trees as possible and to
do some good for the climate and environment in your local area.
