Let good things grow
Your personal donation tree
Trees are the green lungs of our planet. They clean the air, provide valuable habitats and create oases of well-being in the midst of the urban hustle and bustle. With your donation, you can actively contribute to their protection, preservation and a better urban climate. Support us in shaping a greener, more liveable future.
Donation trees are a lasting memory and can be given as a gift for any occasion. With your donation, the city of Wolfsburg can plant additional trees in public green spaces, on streets and in squares. You can make a contribution to climate protection with a donation of as little as EUR 20.00.
Single tree donation
With a donation of 300.00 euros, we will plant a tree in your name.
This lump sum includes
- the procurement and planting of a tree of nursery quality
- development care for the first three years
Not included is an optional dedication: an 11 x 11 cm stainless steel plaque on a weatherproof palisade made of Douglas fir wood with your personal dedication text.
The cost of this additional dedication is currently 60.00 euros for the palisade and around 60.00 euros for the stainless steel plaque. Choose a suitable location from our interactive map from the comfort of your own home.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to select and check your own locations. We make every effort to provide locations for donated trees in those parts of the city where this is possible.
You will also receive a donation receipt for the tree donation on request. It is not possible to issue a donation receipt for the dedication.
Collection tree donation
From a donation of 20.00 euros, you have the opportunity to participate in a collective tree donation from the city of Wolfsburg. As soon as enough money has been collected to plant a donation tree, the city of Wolfsburg will use the donations to finance new or replanting in the city area.
It is not possible to place a personal dedication before donating trees.
Change and restoration of a dedication
If you have already donated a tree, you have the option of having the dedication restored or changing it. In both cases, you will incur costs of up to 120.00 euros, which are divided into 60.00 euros for the palisade and a further 60.00 euros or so for the dedication.
