An NGO in the Netherlands comes up with a clever way to build forests: collect unwanted tree saplings and deliver them to farmers and councils to plant
“One of the ministries said to me that Urgenda has plans to plant trees but the tree nurseries can’t deliver them,” Van Ormondt said., another voluntary organisation, who turns a vegetable patch into a tree hub filled with saplings from the 160 hectares where he does forest management in winter. When Van Ormondt visited the tree hub, Van der Laan had 50,000 saplings, and 20 volunteers planted all of the young trees within three weeks.
“I think [Meer Bomen Nu] brings more awareness of what we need to do with trees and how every tree counts,” Manou van der Noort, a volunteer said. European Commission’s executive vice-president Frans Timmermans will replant the first Belgian sapling with Meer Bomen Nu near Brussels on December 11. Timmermans said the Meer Bomen Nu campaign has found a creative, sustainable and circular way to get more trees planted.said that smaller actions don’t mitigate the need for large-scale government action.
