The BUGA 2009 in Schwerin and a climate forest for our environment - what could be more natural than combining the major event of a Federal Horticultural Show with the reforestation of a new forest area! One day after the start of the BUGA in Schwerin, this sixth 1.7-hectare climate forest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was opened with a planting event in Neuhof on April 24, 2009.
As a "Selected Landmark" in the "Land of Ideas" competition, the Klimawald Neuhof enhanced the experience value of the BUGA and supported its supra-regional appeal as a sustainable event with its very specific contribution toreducing CO2 emissions from vacation and business trips.
How to find the Klimawald Neuhof
The first reforestation area is located 25 km as the crow flies south-east of the State capital Schwerin and 2.5 km north-east of the small town of Neustadt-Glewe. You can reach the reforestation area via the A24, exit Neustadt-Glewe, turn onto the B191 in the direction of Spornitz, follow the L81 behind the HOYER petrol station (approx. 1km), turn off at KRIM/Neuhof, then continue for approx. 1 km, or coming from Neustadt-Glewe, drive through Neuhof on the main road and turn right at the end of the village. From here it is about 1 km.
Forest shares for our climate forests
Since 2007, more than 100 hectares of new forests adapted to climate change have been planted at 19 different locations in all parts of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The reforestation of these additional areas was financed by "forest shares" from holidaymakers, residents and businesses. During planting campaigns for our climate forests, guests can talk to forestry experts and learn exciting details about the forest in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
