In this contribution to broadcaster ARD, starting at minute 18:00, EFI’s Marcus Lindner shared his knowledge on forest restoration in Germany and made a reference to our German SUPERB demo site which has heavily been destroyed by bark beetles. With a combination of planting of mixed tree species and natural regeneration, colleagues from Wald und Holz NRW have been restoring the land. “It is important to consider what mix of species we promote to make sure we have resilient forests in the future”, says Lindner.
