Forest projects in Switzerland

We carry out our local forest projects in collaboration with Schwyz forest ranger Cornel Aschwanden. The focus is on species protection and biodiversity.

The first Swiss Washo forest is located near the Albis Pass in the canton of Zurich. Here, we have planted an area with 4,000 young trees.

In Arth in the canton of Schwyz, we have reforested a steep mountain slope. We planted walnut trees, oaks, Douglas firs, and spruces.

We have carried out further reforestation projects in Udligenswil, Immensee, and on the Zugerberg.

Our Washo forester Cornel Aschwanden always pays particular attention to healthy biodiversity and selects the right tree species that can tolerate the increasingly warmer climate.

Worldwide for NatureEnvironment

To date, Washo has supported reforestation projects in over 15 countries. This makes sense because climate protection is a global challenge. In addition, our commitment creates valuable jobs in less privileged locations.

From seedling to tree
First, tree seedlings grow in a protected environment. Local forces are committed to this with great dedication.
Key development partner
Reforestation benefits more than just the climate. The local population also welcomes this important work.
Rapid growth
The tropical climate helps the trees to grow quickly, and the effect on the climate is immediate.
