Because we are a little proud of our customers who make this possible for us, we would like to present a project close to our hearts here. All magazines we produce for our customers are FSC-certified and also contribute to the protection of our environment through CO2 compensation.
The Bergwaldprojekt e.V., which is supported in this way, protects the local forests with volunteers and professional helpers. 2,000 people are employed at 51 locations in Germany every year. Since 2001, the project has been improving the living conditions for capercaillie and hazel grouse in Freiburg’s city forest. For both grouse species, the Black Forest is one of the last intact habitats outside the Alps. Capercaillie need closed thickets to protect them from predators, open areas with blueberries and cranberries as food, and individual trees to roost to raise their young. Other animal species such as black woodpeckers, red wood ants and adders also benefit from such an area mosaic. With their work, the volunteers strengthen biodiversity and thus the resilience of the forest to climate change. The direct contribution of our customers to the mountain forest project contributes to the financing of the outreach weeks.
