"Through careful interventions and targeted promotion of mixed tree species, we are developing a climate-resilient continuous cover forest for future generations."
Location & Geology
The project forest is located in the municipality of Hohberg in the Ortenau district, surrounding the Diersburg vineyard estate. The landscape is shaped by the transition between the Upper Rhine Plain and the gently rising foothills of the Central Black Forest. This mosaic of viticulture, open land and forest gives the area special ecological significance.
- Soil: Predominantly deep, loess-influenced brown soils with good water retention; partly stony and more susceptible to drying on slopes.
- Climate: Mild, warm climate with a long growing season; increasing drought periods and heavy rainfall require stable, well-rooted stands.
- Vegetation: Native deciduous species such as beech and oak, supplemented by maple, cherry and other mixed species; occasional remnants of earlier conifer management.
Structure-Oriented Continuous Cover Development
Management follows a long-term, structure-oriented approach. Through moderate interventions, targeted promotion of mixed species and the deliberate retention of deadwood, stable, multi-layered stands are being developed. Natural regeneration, genetic diversity and the protection of sensitive soil and habitat structures are priorities. The forest is gradually evolving into a climate-resilient continuous cover forest that permanently combines ecological functions, biodiversity and carbon storage.
Permanent Satellite Monitoring
In cooperation with Remote Sensing Solutions GmbH (RSS), we permanently monitor all our forests. If a forest fire or deforestation is detected, tokens are immediately locked.
