Planting trees together and doing something good for someone else. In this case, Frank König. König has maps of the land from 1840 and that is how long it has been family property. “I can really say that I have been going into the forest for 35 years and very intensively. Absolute pain. Absolutely real pain. Today we are standing here in the forest with a lot of employees and our boss. And we are planting 2200 trees today. And it really makes me very happy.” Source: Facebook/LifeTerra

With this web app, we want to increase the transparency of our project, but also provide valuable data for other ecosystem restoration initiatives while creating a unique link between the trees and the tree planters.
