Die Waldretter - Kampf gegen Ignoranz

Kampf gegen Ignoranz

Nature itself knows what it does best - this is the thesis of the foresters in the Lübeck Stadt-forst. For this reason, they stopped managing 10 percent of their forest areas in 1992 and left the forest to its own devices. Together with the University of Kiel, they are now investigating how the forest develops when humans do not intervene. The aim: to design the commercial forest in such a way that it is as similar as possible to the natural forest.
