Let’s plant a tree together

The magnificent woodlands of Alta Badia were deeply affected by the Vaia storm in 2018, which toppled countless trees across the mountains. Since then, the bark beetle—a pest that targets spruce trees—has spread rapidly, increasing tree mortality by up to 200% in some Alpine areas. September 14 will be a day of unity and action. Together with local residents, visitors, businesses, and nature enthusiasts, we will plant new trees with WOWnature to help restore and regenerate these forests. Thanks to the support of people like you, thousands of trees have already been planted. But our work is not finished. With WOWnature, we aim to continue for as long as the mountains need us and as long as people and companies are willing to contribute. We will plant not only spruces, but also birches, alders, larches, and other broadleaf species to help create a more diverse and resilient ecosystem—better able to withstand pests, disease, and climate change. Want to take part? If you would like to take part, you can adopt or gift a tree through WOWnature by visiting: wownature.eu/areewow/alta-badia-corvara About a month before the event, WOWnature will send you an email with full details and a registration form. Participation is free, but places are limited. In case of bad weather, the event will be rescheduled to Sunday, September 20. What is WOWnature? WOWnature is an initiative that involves citizens, companies, and organizations in restoring nature through science-based projects. It provides a transparent and effective way to support reforestation and environmental conservation. The initiative was created by Etifor | Valuing Nature, a spin-off of the University of Padua and a certified B Corporation.
