With the #BOOMjetuin call to action, Dieter Coppens is asking everyone to plant an extra tree, shrub, or hedge this winter. A tree acts as a natural air conditioner: it provides shade and cooling, retains water, absorbs CO₂, and offers a home to many animals. Even with a small garden, one can make a difference.
For those who wish to get started, helpful tips can be found on boomjetuin.be. After planting, the contribution can be registered via boomjetuin.be/doe-mee to help the tree counter of Houthalen-Helchteren grow.
