Tree sponsorships | Tree donations

Become a tree sponsor or support us with a financial donation for tree planting in Jena!

Together we can make our city greener and more liveable.
Trees are not only beautiful to look at, they are also invaluable for our environment. They produce oxygen, provide shade on hot days and improve the urban climate.

Unfortunately, there are still many treeless areas in Jena that urgently need to be planted with greenery. (Fig. Planting of a tree slice in Talstraße)

Nobody needs to worry about being overburdened by adopting a tree! This is because the duty of care for the sponsored tree remains with the city even if a sponsorship exists, so that the sponsor does not have to worry about the stability of their tree or carry out extensive maintenance work, pruning or similar on the tree themselves.

Even with relatively small maintenance measures, tree sponsors can make it noticeably easier for "their" tree to survive in the city:

  • clearing the tree disc of garbage (especially cigarette butts!)
  • provide the tree with a few buckets of water in dry weather. Especially when it's very hot: it's better to have one more jug
  • carefully loosen the soil around the tree from time to time - this will significantly improve the water and nutrient supply
  • prevent the tree from being permanently damaged by dog excrement and urine by planting, for example, barberries or the so-called "piss off plant coleus canina"
  • protect the tree grate from soil compaction, pollutants and dog urine by creating a boundary (max. 50 cm high and at least 50 cm away from parking bays & roadways and at least 25 cm away from cycle paths or sidewalks)
  • if necessary, remove overgrown "weeds" if required or when planting horticultural plants
  • protect the area under the tree canopy from debris and parked cars - possibly even with a knee-high barrier (only after consultation with the city!)
  • get involved in public relations work about the positive effects of urban trees.

  • You can design the tree slice of "your" tree largely according to your own ideas and can thus create a small natural oasis virtually on your doorstep, from which passers-by, butterflies etc. can also benefit. As a rule, it is up to you to decide whether you want to give self-settling plants free space or plant the tree slice according to your own ideas.
  • You will receive care tips and advisory support from the KSJ tree care department.
  • You will receive a small "starter pack" with seeds for a colorful flower meadow.
  • You make an active contribution to climate protection, to the beautification of your neighborhood and to increasing the quality of life in Jena.
  • You will receive a sign that you can place under the tree to make your commitment visible to the general public.

Becoming a sponsor is "child's play":

Not only individuals can sponsor trees, but also families, schools, clubs, kindergartens, etc.

What a tree sponsor can do for "their" tree is agreed in the sponsorship contract and depends on the personal possibilities and interests of the individual person(s).

Donate a tree

Donate a tree - If you don't have time for an active tree sponsorship, you can also support us with a financial donation. Your donation will enable us to plant more new trees and further expand the green infrastructure in Jena.

Thank you

As a tree sponsor, you will receive a certificate and an extract from the city of Jena's tree register.
If you donate more than 300.00 euros, we will be happy to issue you with a donation receipt.

Thank you very much for your support!

Your KSJ - Tree Care Team
