Compensatory measures: Reforestation

A new broad-leaved forest was planted on the sandy field.  Therefore, an existing forest area was planted with close-to-nature woodland, comprising a regional mixture of species. Also, a pioneering forest of 4,500 birch trees was planted – these trees are able to settle on sparse grounds and later foster the growth of spruces, oaks and beeches.
