A fresh expansion - a woodland growth
Get ready for some good ol' forest fun, y'all! This here city is inviting families with a bunch of kids to a tree plantin' shindig on Shrove Friday. City arborists will be there too, handin' out seedlings and shovels. What's a carnival without treats, right? So, there'll be Berliner pastries for everyone to enjoy.
A chunk of the Niederheider forest is in need of a refresh. Seems like the trees took a hit in those dry years and had to surrender. Even the 100-year-old beeches are showing signs of drought damage. To revive this forest, the city's opting for a diverse mix of tree species - oak, hornbeam, cherry, birch, and winter linden. This diversity'll help the forest heal naturally and adapt to the city's climate.
These baby trees are around three years old and stand tall between 80 and 120 centimeters. This plantin' session was part of the "Growing Together" initiative, which encourages Düsseldorf residents to participate in public greenery projects.

Now, I ain't found nothin' about the "Growing Together" campaign related to reforestation in Düsseldorf. If you've got more context or details, lemme know, and I can dig deeper. Till then, happy plantin'!
