One Booking = One Tree
One of our key initiatives is reforestation. Forests play a key role in our environment, maintaining the global balance of carbon dioxide and biodiversity. To help reverse climate change, we have planted 25.000 willow trees so far at Saltofte Gård, Denmark. Willows are great trees to plant because they have a cyclic life cycle. They also absorb a lot of carbon dioxide within a year.
The cyclic life cycle means the trees are cut down after 6-10 years. The stems from these trees create 5-6 cuttings per tree. These cuttings will then grow into new trees – starting a new life cycle. These stem cuttings absorb 5-6 times greater amounts of CO2 than the original stem. This cycle runs four times, which is equivalent to 30-40 years before it is necessary to replant willow trees.
