Stiftung Zukunft Wald (Landesforsten-Stiftung)
About the funder
The Stiftung Zukunft Wald was founded in July 2008 by the Lower Saxony State Forests as the first public-law forestry organization in Germany and has since pursued the goal of initiating and promoting environmental education and species protection projects in the Lower Saxony State Forest. Its work includes the initiation, planning, and implementation of forest education measures and nature conservation projects, particularly the flagship project "School Forests Against Climate Change," which plants the most school forests nationwide. The foundation regards healthy forests as a vital resource for climate, biodiversity, and society and is committed to sustainable management of forests and nature through long-term projects.
