Collective Effort Cleans Up Forests Near BietigheimAbout 50 volunteers cleared trash from two forest areas during the national cleanup day in early March 2026.
- Approximately 50 participants removed litter from the Brandholz and Lettengrube forest areas and disposed of it properly.
- Since 2022, nearly 5,800 volunteers nationwide have collected over 71 tons of waste, predominantly plastic packaging.
- Plastic decomposes slowly, releasing microplastic particles that pose a long-term threat to the forest ecosystem.
- Organizers advocate for a strategy to reduce plastic production and waste to protect forest health sustainably.
Therefore, the CleanUp-Day is only a small but important building block to raise awareness of this often hidden problem. After all, awareness protects the forest in the long term better than any prohibition sign.— Quoted by Simon Spittel, event organizer from the Department of Forestry, in the press release
