Tree sponsorship

Tree sponsorship

This English page explains the offer without turning it into a broad impact promise. The sponsorship is connected to project reference, documentation and certificate logic.

Definition

A sponsorship is part of a wider project

A tree sponsorship at Wald Luft Atmen does not look at a single isolated tree. The contribution flows into a project area where site-adapted tree species are connected into a resilient mixed forest.

This creates a verifiable project logic, care planning and documentation instead of pure planting-moment communication.

  • project reference instead of an anonymous single action
  • mixed forest development instead of monoculture
  • documentation with status and project logic
  • care, protection and replanting as part of the approach
  • no CO2 offsetting and no carbon-neutrality advertising

Private and B2B

From a single tree to a company action

Project

Rügen 01 as the current project area

The sponsorship is not explained in isolation from the area. The current project reference is Rügen 01 on the island of Rügen, with a publicly communicated target of 100,000 trees.

Boundary

What we deliberately do not promise

Wald Luft Atmen does not communicate tree sponsorships as a CO2 offsetting product. The initiative does not sell carbon-neutrality labels and does not publish blanket CO2 impact figures for individual sponsorships.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a tree sponsorship?

At Wald Luft Atmen, it is a project-based contribution connected to the current project Rügen 01 and documented through the site and certificate logic.

Can I use it as a gift?

Yes. The English gift page explains occasions, recipient context and certificate logic.

Is there a certificate?

The sample certificate page explains which fields can be included and what they do not imply.

Is the tree sponsorship a donation?

Wald Luft Atmen should only describe a payment as a donation once the legal basis is finally clarified and publicly stated. Until then, sponsorship or contribution is the more careful wording. We make no tax or donation deductibility claim.

Do I get a CO2 certificate?

No. Wald Luft Atmen does not make CO2 offsetting claims and does not sell carbon-neutrality labels. The documentation is about project status, sponsorship assignment and mixed forest development.

Where are the trees planted?

The current project Rügen 01 is on the island of Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. Publicly communicated status: 60,000 of 100,000 planned trees, as of May 2026.

What happens if trees do not grow?

The Wald Luft Atmen approach includes care, monitoring and replanting where needed. Concrete responsibilities and proof paths are bundled on the transparency page as soon as they are publicly approved.
