Peter Naumann (Bergwaldprojekt e.V.) receives the donation from Bergzeit for 1,000 trees.

In June, the German mountain sports retailer Bergzeit called on the trail community to run meters of altitude for a tree donation with the Trails for Trees Challenge. For every Mont Blanc climbed, the highest mountain in the Alps with 4,810 meters of altitude, Bergzeit planted a tree. By June 30, almost 700 trail runners had taken part in the campaign. The result: With 1,443,000 meters of altitude run, they were able to collect a total of 300 trees within three weeks.
