Number of life trees in Kerkrade grows again
The Kerkrade Life Tree Forest continues to grow again: the municipality of Kerkrade plans to plant another new, small, Life Tree Forest by the end of 2022. This will take place on the old main field of Hockey Association Carisborg. Apple trees and cherry trees will be planted.
Residents of Kerkrade can adopt a tree starting Thursday, July 21, on weekdays between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. The rule is: gone = gone! Adopting a tree costs 30 euros.

Planting a Life Tree Forest in Kerkrade was an idea of the City Council in 2017. A total of 578 Kerkrade life trees have now been planted in Levensbomenbos West, Levensbomenbos Holzkuil and Levensbomenlaan Holzkuil. About 70 life trees will be added to this at the end of this year in the Carisborg Life Tree Forest.

In the Carisborg Life Tree Forest, tranquility is very important. Like the other Levensbomenbossen, it will not be a park with paths, benches and parking lots.
The forest will look like a Limburg fruit meadow. Apple trees and cherry trees will be planted. At times, sheep will also graze among the trees. This is good for nature.
Alderman Alexander Geers (Public Space): "Last time, all the life trees were adopted incredibly quickly. That shows how important residents think it is to plant a lasting remembrance in a piece of Kerkrade. I am pleased that residents will once again have the opportunity to adopt or give as a gift a special memento. Planting life trees is also a beautiful and special way to make the area greener. Life Tree Forest Carisborg will be a beautiful new place full of stories."
Adoption and planting day
Residents of Kerkrade can adopt a tree starting Thursday, July 21, on weekdays between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. To do so, fill out the digital form.
Because this Life Tree Forest will be a bit smaller, you can adopt a maximum of two trees per form. Please note: Op=Op!
People who have adopted a tree may replant it themselves. A tag with a personal message may be attached to the tree. The planting day of the Carisborg Life Tree Forest will be, depending on the weather, on a Saturday in November.
