Project
OCELL: Forest Adaptation near Munich

The 1456,9 ha climate protection project “Großaitingen” is predominantly composed of spruce trees (65%), mostly aged between 101-120 years. This makes the forest highly vulnerable to climate-related challenges such as storms, heat stress, and insect infestation.
Your investment in the project will be dedicated to a 100% to measures aimed at making the forest more resilient to the impacts of climate change.

These measures explicitly focus on the following goals:

a) Increasing tree species diversity through targeted planting of climate-adapted species (e.g., larch, Douglas fir, spruce, and red oak).
b) Enhancing structural diversity through active forest transformation of unstable old wood stands (establishing additional canopy layers).
c) Designating and permanently preserving habitat and biodiversity trees to promote natural habitats.

The “Großaitingen” project aims to sequester and reduce a total of 42,600 tons of CO2 (1,420 tons / year) over 30 years. This not only reduces the climate risk of the forest but also enhances its structural diversity.

The project was developed according to ISO 14064-2 and certified by the validation body TÜV Nord.

To ensure the effectiveness and transparency of the projects, they are continuously monitored using OCELL's Dynamic Forest Software. OCELL also regularly collects aerial images, which are analyzed using AI. All results are transparently presented on OCELL's Transparency Platform.
