Rhein-Kreis Neuss Gives Away 1,000 Trees to Combat CO2
Residents of Rhein-Kreis Neuss have the opportunity to receive a free tree as part of an initiative to combat CO2 emissions. Starting November 2nd, 2021, the local municipality will be giving away 1,000 trees from a selection of species, including apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, medlar, amur maple, and serviceberry.
The trees will be available in containers and will measure approximately 2 meters in height at delivery. They can grow to be between 5 and 20 meters tall, depending on the species. This initiative comes as a response to the increasing abundance of CO2 in the air, which is now considered harmful to the environment.
To apply for a free tree, residents must follow a simple process:
- Check the official Rhein-Kreis Neuss website: Visit www.rhein-kreis-neuss.de and look for announcements or programs related to free tree distribution, often found under sections like "Umwelt" (environment), "Baumpflanzaktion" (tree planting campaign), or “Naturschutz” (nature conservation).
- Review the available tree species list: Confirm the species offered (apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, medlar, amur maple, serviceberry) and any specific conditions or quantities allowed per applicant.
- Fill out the application form: There may be an online form or a downloadable PDF/application form. Provide your contact details, preferred tree species, and any other requested information (e.g., planting location details).
- Submit the application before the deadline: Deadlines are often before the delivery period (so likely some weeks before late November).
- Wait for confirmation: The local office will typically confirm your allocation and provide details about the tree pick-up or delivery.
- Collect or receive your tree: Delivery or collection will take place in late November to early December.

This initiative aims to help combat CO2 emissions and promote a greener environment in Rhein-Kreis Neuss. The trees will be available for pickup in Kaarst, Neuss-Rosellen, Korschenbroich-Liedberg, and Grevenbroich. Residents can apply for a free tree using the online form, with a maximum of one tree per household.
In recent dry years, many trees have died, and spruces have been eaten by bark beetles. This initiative is a step towards revitalizing the local tree population and contributing to a healthier environment. So, don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference and receive a beautiful tree for your home!
