In fact, 80% of the Earth’s terrestrial biodiversity is found in forests. #### Adapt to climate change Healthy ecosystems are less exposed to the danger of natural hazards and better prepared for the impact of extreme weather events. #### Protect plants and animals More than 1 million animal and plant species are in danger of extinction. By protecting their habitats, we help them survive. ### About the project ### About the project A gravel pit is not a haven for biodiversity, on the contrary, as heavy machinery has been working on the ground damaging the soil. Thus, we will need to establish a baseline for biodiversity by creating an inventory of the current plant and animal species present and then evaluate the development of the biodiversity during and after the first plantations. A stream runs through the corner of the forest, which we want to preserve and possibly restore. There are also two forest ponds, which we will preserve. These wetlands are important habitants for a wide range of flora and fauna, and will help improve the forest’s ecosystem. An area of the parcel has overmature Christmas trees, which cannot be harvested but are excellent for to create a healthy forest climate with gaps for new young trees and for biodiversity to flourish.

Together we walked every plot of the forest to see how the trees planted in spring 2024 and May 2026 are getting on. For the area planted in spring 2024, keeping the weeds under control has been a challenge on this plot, but the trees are thriving all the same. The small pond in the middle of the area was looking a little dry on the day of our visit. The newest plantation from Spring 2026 is off to a strong start. Even the beech, which our forester thought might struggle, has already grown tall and sturdy. Overall, our forester was very pleased with how both plantations are developing. It’s wonderful to see the trees growing well and the forest beginning to take shape. ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TPWFQG2_IMG_6612.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8MN56Z8B_IMG_6609.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8NL4DNMB_IMG_6577.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8CHSPSK1_IMG_6569.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8CHTSJET_IMG_6565.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TPVN73L_IMG_6563.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8S0K12RL_IMG_6558.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8VT31FQ9_IMG_6546.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TQ03BU2_IMG_6531.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8NL7QHD3_IMG_6492.jpg?d=128x128?d=128x128) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TPWFQG2_IMG_6612.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8MN56Z8B_IMG_6609.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8NL4DNMB_IMG_6577.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8CHSPSK1_IMG_6569.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8CHTSJET_IMG_6565.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TPVN73L_IMG_6563.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8S0K12RL_IMG_6558.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8VT31FQ9_IMG_6546.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8TQ03BU2_IMG_6531.jpg?d=240x135) ![Nysum Forest](https://info-field-reports.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/field-reports/forest/nysum/2026-10-13/F0C8NL7QHD3_IMG_6492.jpg?d=240x135) PreviousNext 26/05/2026 With 42,000 trees planted, this Danish forestry project has now reached 100,000 in total — turning a former gravel pit into a young forest.
