Project Narrative

BENEFITSBeyond their symbolic importance, trees have multiple benefits for the city: protection against avalanches, protection against wind, better air quality, limitation of soil erosion, etc…The Davos Forest Service ensures regular monitoring of the trees. We are working to make this project an example and a showcase for sustainable forest management. LOCAL PARTNER Technical work (species, design of the planting models, site location, monitoring) is done by forest experts of Davos Municipalty, Gemeinde Davos Forstbetrieb. They ensure the plantation of 100% native timber trees and the combination of several species to regenerate the local biodiversity, preserve the natural ecosystems, and ensure maximal socio-environmental co-benefits.
