Evers ReForest

In Germany, hope is a color. Green.

It’s actually quite logical: CO₂ is one of the most abundant greenhouse gases and causes of climate change. Consequently, everything must be done to reduce CO₂ emissions. This is only possible to a limited extent in the production processes of catalogues, brochures, etc. – at least as it now stands despite our efforts.

Until we’re at that point, the solution is carbon offset. And that isn’t as complicated as it might sound. Because even one tree can convert 100 kg of CO₂ on average per year. How much then could an entire forest capture? That’s why we started Evers-ReForest. A new forest to fight climate change. There is a reason why green is the color of hope in Germany.

From tree to print

Allow us to introduce your very own and personal means of CO₂ mitigation: beech, oak, maple, hornbeam and lime. They help you improve your individual carbon footprint, regardless of whether you have us print a 6-page flyer, a large catalogue, or we realize non-print media projects for you.

Simply invest in one or several trees thereby making an active commitment, receive the ReForest logo and certificate – and you’re done.

We do the planting. You have a clear conscience. Or would you like to join us in the planting?

Because your tree will continue to offset more and more CO₂ for you for decades. Because a forest is created, a habitat in which not only animals and plants will flourish again and feel at home. You will too. Ultimately, it is just around the corner from us, in Dithmarschen. And because – it’s always good to make an impression – you can promote your image and your commitment to environmental protection by using the ReForest logo. Advertising can sometimes be that simple (and affordable).

Calculations, testing and projections on carbon offset were conducted by the Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute [vTI], the Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries.

Welcome to your Woodlands

This is it. Your forest in Schleswig-Holstein. Not just in the district of Dithmarschen on the North Sea, but also in the district of Plön on the Baltic. Part of this woodland is even to be found in a 105 ha conservation area.

We are planting between 7,000 and 8,000 trees per hectare with the Evers-ReForest project to create a mixed deciduous forest. All to make a very concrete contribution to climate protection and a commitment to the environment.

Because when you can actually see the results of your commitment, your own tree, that’s when you’re also willing to do even more. And there is an urgent need to act. After all, climate change is one of the greatest challenges we collectively face today. How good it is that there are enough areas available for reforestation.

Initiative and Realisation

Evers-ReForest is an initiative of the Evers-Frank Print and Media Group in Schleswig-Holstein which pays for the financing of the reforestation project together with your clients and business partners. The actual reforestation is carried out by experts from our region.

The new forests are professionally maintained so that nothing stands in the way of the forest development and the stand is protected in the long term.

Validation

Calculations, testing and projections on the specific carbon offset by the wooded areas were conducted in April 2010 by Forest Ecology and Forest Inventory group of the renowned Johann Heinrich von Thünen-Institute [vTI], the Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries.
