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:

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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).
  4. Submit the application before the deadline: Deadlines are often before the delivery period (so likely some weeks before late November).
  5. Wait for confirmation: The local office will typically confirm your allocation and provide details about the tree pick-up or delivery.
  6. 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!

Gardening and home-and-garden enthusiasts in Rhein-Kreis Neuss can participate in the initiative to combat CO2 emissions by applying for a free tree from the local municipality. Citizens are invited to choose from a collection of tree species, such as apple, pear, cherry, plum, quince, medlar, amur maple, and serviceberry, as part of their lifestyle improvement and contribution to a greener environment.
