Weddings, births, christenings, wedding anniversaries, company anniversaries, school graduations - there are many good reasons to plant a tree. In the Bürgerwald Löhne, people have the opportunity to plant or give a tree as a living memory of a wonderful day and at the same time make a contribution to environmental and climate protection.
The second Löhne citizens' forest has already been created here at Wassiek. What initially began as an avenue in the "Am Werredamm" green space quickly developed into a successful project. A total of 297 native deciduous trees were planted at Wassiek between 2008 and 2013. English oak, copper beech, hornbeam, small-leaved lime, sycamore maple and bird cherry grow here. Signs at the tree planting posts indicate the special occasions for the tree planting. As the initiator of this project, Stadtmarketing AG Energie, Verkehr, Ökologie also set up an insect hotel in the Bürgerwald am Wassiek in 2011.
The demand for trees remains high. A third community forest has now been created below the Wassiek, on the Wallücker Bahnweg (directly on the Else-Werre cycle path). Further areas are being sought.
