Germany's Muskauer Park, a UNESCO site, employs natural regeneration with grafting to tackle climate change effects on trees.
Germany's Muskauer Park, a UNESCO site on the German-Polish border, is using a natural regeneration project to address climate change effects, particularly the loss of trees due to drought and pests. By grafting saplings onto the stumps of mature trees, caretakers aim to transmit adaptive traits without relying on genetic engineering. This cost-effective method is part of a broader effort among German parks, which may require up to €250 million ($275 million) for long-term climate protection.
