Forest projects in Switzerland

We implement our local forest projects together with the Schwyz forest warden 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 planted an area with 4,000 young trees.

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

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

Our Washo forest warden Cornel Aschwanden always pays particular attention to healthy species diversity and selects the right tree varieties that tolerate the increasingly warmer climate well.

Worldwide for nature & the environment

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

  • From seedling to tree

    First, tree seedlings grow in a protected environment. The local forces are committed to this with a lot of love.

  • Important development partner

    Not only the climate benefits from reforestation. The local population also benefits from important work.

  • Rapid growth

    The tropical climate helps the trees to grow quickly and the effect on the climate is immediate.

Reforestation is accompanied and checked

Washo works internationally exclusively with registered non-profit organizations.

We also have our commitment audited by 1%-for-the-Planet.
