Tree competition 2025: Protect our green helpers in climate change!

The importance of trees for our climate and the environment is often underestimated. They are true all-rounders: they act as CO² columners, oxygen producers, air filterers, habitats for many types and even as natural air conditioning. In the district of Aichach-Friedberg, the focus is now on the appreciation of the trees. With the “Trees of the Wittelsbacher Land” trees in 2025, a sign is set to encourage the population to participate and think. The exact information and details for registration can be found in the leaflet provided, which can now be called up. Important to know: The registration deadline is September 15, 2025. Here you should not hesitate and submit your own registration form in good time! 3

Why is the conscious handling of trees so important? Quite simply: they demonstrably help to reduce stress, improve our urban climate and at the same time bring a high aesthetic value with it. In the midst of climate change, they press the need for how valuable our green environment actually is.

The challenge of climate change

Not only the appreciation of the trees is important, their cultivation is also under pressure. This is shown by the example of the Eberl family from Haunswies, which has been selling Christmas trees since the 1960s. Their cultivation area extends over about three hectares, with the trees being planted and harvested directly on your own front door. Interestingly, buyers show increased demand for domestic and regional Christmas trees this year. You even have the option of beating your own tree directly on the planting areas, which brings a personal note into account ( Augsburger-allgemeine.de ).

However, climate change ensures increasing difficulties in rearing Nordmann firs, which are very popular with many tree lovers. This challenge not only affects the Eberls, but also a large number of other Christmas tree builders in the entire district.

an appeal to the community

In this complex location, it is all the more important to strengthen the awareness of the role of trees as stabilizing elements in our climate. The tree competition in the Aichach-Friedberg district is an excellent opportunity not only to appreciate your own trees, but also to actively contribute to improving the city climate. Perhaps one or the other reader will still find the incentive to actively participate and cultivate or cultivate your own tree. The commitment to nature benefits to all of us.

we take the opportunity to celebrate the diversity and value of our trees and at the same time the challenges that climate change puts us!
