As in the past three years, interested citizens will be provided with trees for planting on their properties in the area of the city of Salzgitter upon application. As part of this campaign, interested parties can receive young trees (selected native species and high-stemmed fruit trees) free of charge from the city for the planting season in winter 2025/2026, which they can plant and subsequently care for themselves.

It should be noted that the trees may only be used for voluntary planting in order to actually achieve added value for the natural environment. Use for planting as part of building permits or other projects requiring approval is therefore excluded. Furthermore, the requirements under private law for the planned planting on the respective property must be fulfilled.

Orders can be placed until June 9, 2025 (by e-mail also during the Whitsun holidays).

Further information is available from the Environment Department of the City of Salzgitter; by e-mail henny.fruehaufstadt.salzgitterde or by telephone (05341/839-3992, Wednesday and Friday between 10 am and 12 noon).
