KEILERSHOOT supports the preservation of our forests
In recent years, our forests have been in a bad way in many places. Drought, heat and above all the bark beetle have left enormous damage. Spruce has been hit particularly hard – whole areas of forest have disappeared within a few years.
As hunters and conservationists, we at KEILERSHOOT feel a particularly close bond with the forest. For us, it is far more than just a backdrop for hunting: it is a habitat, a place of retreat and an important part of our nature. That is why it goes without saying that we make a small contribution to its restoration.
We also experience how dramatic the situation is in places in our personal lives. One of my best friends runs a forestry business on the upper edge of the Sauerland. Around 95 per cent of the spruce stock there has been lost to the bark beetle. That corresponds to about 60 per cent of the entire area of the business.
We have been hunting together for more than 20 years, and I have known this forest for just as long. Seeing how a landscape that grew over decades has changed within a few years is shocking. Many areas are barely recognisable today.
Your purchase at KEILERSHOOT helps too
That is why KEILERSHOOT supports reforestation and the creation of new, resilient forests.
Of course, we also owe it to our customers that we can support such projects. With every purchase at KEILERSHOOT, you indirectly help us give something back and support projects to preserve our nature.
We are aware that, given the enormous damage, our contribution can only be a drop in the ocean. But many small contributions can make a big difference in the end.
If you would also like to help and support reforestation, you can find more information about the “Stammbaum” project at Lake Möhne here:Stammbaum project at Lake Möhne">Stammbaum project at Lake Möhne
Many thanks to everyone who is helping to give our forests a future
