Röchling Medical Plants 600 New Trees in the Thuringian Forest

November 12, 2026 | Colleagues from our Neuhaus am Rennweg site came together for the second edition of “Röchling pflanzt” (Röchling Plants), planting 600 young larch trees in the Thuringian Forest. With support from EDSON and ThüringenForst, the team contributed to reforestation efforts in the region. The planting day took place on October 27, 2026

In recent years, drought and bark beetle infestations have caused substantial damage to parts of the Thuringian Forest, particularly its spruce stands. The tree-planting campaign supports local reforestation efforts.

The initiative builds on the first edition of “Röchling pflanzt” in 2025, when our colleagues planted 600 young beech trees. One year later, there is already encouraging news: According to ThüringenForst, most of the beech trees planted last year have survived and are continuing to grow.

The Thuringian Forest is an important part of the environment surrounding our Neuhaus site. Through this initiative, our colleagues are contributing to its reforestation while strengthening their connection to the region and to each other.

Thank you to all colleagues, EDSON, and ThüringenForst for their support in making this year’s planting day possible.
