Sustainable, versatile, consistent: this is the forest. And at the same time an important part of our homeland that we should protect and preserve for future generations. Especially because it plays an important role as a CO2 store in climate change. More than 50 percent of Austria’s area is forested, the forest creates around 300,000 jobs, and without forest our CO2 balance would be 30 percent higher.
Together with our partners and readers, in our new OÖN series “Our Forest” we not only want to provide information regarding its most important aspects and functions, but also actively do something and plant 100,000 new trees for Upper Austria. You can become a part of it yourself and support the campaign as a tree sponsor.
In the series, which will last eight weeks, we will approach the topic of forests in four categories: tree science (how do I recognize trees, etc.), wood as a material and economic factor, the forest and its important role as a buffer for climate change and not least as a recreational area for people and a habitat for animals.
On nachrichten.at/wald You will find all the information, a CO2 calculator of the trees that we have already planted thanks to you, forest puzzles, a podcast of forest walks and a tree vote where you can send us your most beautiful forest photo under the motto “Let your soul dangle”.

8 weeks – 4 subject areas
Tree science, wood, climate and habitat: these are the subject areas that we will be devoting ourselves to in this series over the next eight weeks. Across all departments – from the forest walk with downhill world champion Hannes Trinkl to the scientific background that qualifies the tree as a climate saver, to tree science
we will start on Tuesday, September 12th.
