Bergwaldprojekt e.V.

History and Organization In 1987, Wolfgang Lohbeck (Greenpeace Germany) and the Swiss forester Renato Ruf founded Bergwaldprojekt in relation to the ‘Waldsterben’-debate about the dying forest. The independent Swiss Bergwaldprojekt foundation with its main office located in Trin (GR) was founded in 1990. The first German project week was in 1991 in St. Andreasberg in the Harz Mountains in northern Germany. In 1993, the German association Bergwaldprojekt e.V. was founded; today its main office is located in Würzburg. As a non-profit making association, Bergwaldprojekt e.V. has 25 voluntary members and is independent, above party lines and ideologically neutral. Besides Germany and Switzerland the Bergwaldprojekt is also represented in Austria, Liechtenstein, Spain and Ukraine. You can find information about the project weeks under: www.bergwaldprojekt.ch.
