Denmark

Together, Planting A Forest.

With gentle rolling hills and flat plains, Denmark has an array of different landscapes and natural beauty to explore. Reforestation in Denmark will help preserve the country's beautiful lands. Learn more

With your help, we will:

  • Protect biodiversity by preserving landscapes
  • Support education and impact local communities
  • Improve watersheds by preserving groundwater
  • Due to historic deforestation, only 14.5% of the land area in Denmark is forested. Planting trees in Denmark will help restore some of its iconic landscapes and preserve these lands for generations to come. Our partners are working on the ground to plant 1 million trees across 350 hectares. This project is part of a nationwide effort to grow Denmark's forest cover to 25% by 2100 and will establish a multi-functional woodland on marginal farmland in western Jutland.
  • The new forests will absorb carbon, protect biodiversity, preserve groundwater, and fix nitrogen to reduce wetland eutrophication. A conservation area will be established for the threatened hazel dormouse and will provide rich habitat for native birds and insects.

    The local community will benefit from the many recreational opportunities afforded by the woodland, as well as an exciting "school in the forest" initiative that will provide educational opportunities for generations to come.
  • A personalized tree certificate (see gallery) to say thanks for your donation. We’ll also send you reports on our Denmark project, so you can track the impact your trees are having on the community and environment.
  • To maximize the impact of your donation, our awesome partner, a team of skilled local foresters, has selected a mix of over 25 native species, including varieties of alder, oak, ash, fir, pine, spruce, and larch.

Why Plant in Denmark?

hazel dormouse

Protect Biodiversity

This planting includes the establishment of a wildlife conservation area, specifically for the threatened hazel dormouse. It will also provide rich habitat for the many unique bird and insect species that call Denmark home.

forest school

SUPPORT EDUCATION

Another exciting part of this project is the allotment of a Children's Forest, to be used for "Forest School" lessons and field trips. This will provide educational opportunities to the local community for generations to come.

IMPROVE WATERSHEDS

Planting trees will protect Denmark's vital watersheds by preserving groundwater and preventing wetland eutrophication. That way, Denmark's aquatic life will have plenty of access to the oxygen they need!
