Working together for more sustainability
Sustainable management is a guiding principle in the organization and execution of the Forestry Meeting Point. To this end, the DLG, as the organizer of the DLG-Waldtage, relies on climate-, environment-, and resource-friendly measures in collaboration with partners, exhibitors, and visitors.
The DLG-Waldtage take place as an outdoor fair, which requires special effort for the preparation and setup of the fairgrounds. However, the DLG ensures that the utilized agricultural land is restored to its original condition after the DLG-Waldtage, despite the necessary preparations, leaving no lasting traces. This way, valuable agricultural land is preserved.
Through the cooperation with WeReforest, a programme of DLG e. V., which supports forest owners in the conversion and establishment of climate-stable, sustainable mixed forests, exhibitors and visitors have the opportunity to reduce their ecological footprint.
What we can achieve together
We are committed to the sustainable organisation of the DLG-Waldtage and enable exhibitors and visitors to actively participate in the reforestation and stabilisation of forests in Germany. With every regular ticket purchase and every exhibition space, you make a direct contribution to forest conversion:
How you can get involved
Every visit to the trade fair can have a positive impact on climate protection. In addition to purchasing a Green Ticket or making a voluntary donation, there are other ways to get actively involved:
Through this commitment, the DLG-Waldtage, together with their visitors and exhibitors, make an important contribution to climate protection and nature conservation and contribute to the development of resilient, sustainable forests in Germany.
