On Tuesday 14 July at 11.00 am, Mayor Thomas Kütter and Mayor Ralph Burghart will jointly water a special tree on Johannisstraße (in front of the ‘eins’ building). The ‘Royal Red’ Norway maple was planted and cared for there with the support of a tree donation. In doing so, they are promoting the ‘My Tree for Chemnitz’ fundraising campaign, which was launched back in 2019.
Media representatives are invited to attend. Andreas Streich, Head of the Department for Green Space Maintenance and Forestry at the City of Chemnitz’s Parks and Green Spaces Office, is also available as a contact.
To ensure that Chemnitz remains the green city it is, new trees must be planted regularly in public green spaces and along the streets. Furthermore, newly planted trees require a particular level of care during their first few years. Planting a tree in a street setting costs around 2,500 euros. This covers not only the planting itself but also the maintenance costs. You can contribute towards these costs with a donation of 50 euros or more. For donations of 250 euros or more, a plaque bearing the donor’s details and a personal dedication can be placed next to a selected ‘donor tree’.
At www.chemnitz.de/baumspenden, you can select your chosen tree from the themed city map available there. The donation trees are young trees that have already been planted along roads or in green spaces in the city of Chemnitz. They are shown in orange on the themed city map. The location number of the tree you click on is automatically transferred to the online form. If you specify the town or district, a suggested location will also be provided.
The completed form can be sent by email to: baumspende(at)stadt-chemnitz.de or by post to Stadt Chemnitz, Grünflächenamt, reference: Baumspende, 09106 Chemnitz.
