Assisting Arboreal Life in Sweltering Summer Conditions
In the city of Kaarst, efforts are being made to ensure the health and well-being of its tree stock, which plays a crucial role in the city's climate and environment.
Despite recent rainfall and summer thunderstorms, the soils in Kaarst are still not sufficiently moist to prevent drought damage in the Vorster Forest and on street trees. To address this, the municipal building maintenance department will provide trees suffering from the heat with fresh water using special watering carts in the coming weeks.
The Kaarst Greens are encouraging citizens to lend a hand in this watering effort, especially for young trees aged one to 15 years. Citizens who take on tree sponsorship in Kaarst receive watering bags from the city. These bags, with a capacity of up to 85 litres, can water a tree for up to eight hours. Filling a watering bag with one to two cans of water can provide significant help to these young trees.
Nina Lennhof, the Green Party's spokeswoman for environmental policy in the city council, emphasizes the importance of trees for Kaarst's climate. "Trees provide shade in hot summers, lower the temperature, and prevent the formation of 'heat islands' in the high summer," she said. Katrin Lukowitz, another party spokeswoman, highlights the need for trees in Kaarst to keep water in the soil and cool the air.
Trees in Kaarst are not just important for their natural value, but also serve as a recreational area, refuge for animals and humans, and have a climate-regulating function. The city administration hopes for the cooperation of citizens to maintain the health of the tree stock in Kaarst.
Rolf Retzlaff, a city official, encourages tree sponsors to contribute to healthy greenery and a better climate in Kaarst. Citizens can contribute to this initiative by becoming tree sponsors. The city's tree sponsorship program provides watering bags for young trees aged one to 15 years.
