Mein Baum – Meine Stadt
🇩🇪 Hamburg, HH, Germany · Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg (BUKEA) with Loki Schmidt Stiftung
Donate any amount toward a specific empty street-tree site; once 500 euros is reached the city pays the rest (about 3,500 euros total) and plants the tree
Hamburg's street-tree donation campaign, running since 2011 in cooperation with the Loki Schmidt Stiftung, which checks that donations reach street trees and advises donors on choosing a location. Donors pick an empty tree site on an online map; when 500 euros has been collected for that site from one or several donors, the city guarantees planting of a nursery tree (10 to 15 years old, 18 to 25 cm trunk circumference) and covers the remaining cost. Over 5,300 tree gaps have been filled since 2011.
