Wir sagen Neophyten im Wald den Kampf an
About the event
As a forestry company, we are responsible for approximately 700 hectares of forest in the canton of Zurich. We take care of these forests, maintain them, and preserve them. Additionally, we harvest wood from them to put it into circulation. During this event, we remove non-native plants that displace our native ones and hinder their growth. We do this with tools and manpower; some plants can be cut off, while others need to be removed along with their roots. This way, we can ensure that the foreign plants do not spread invasively.
