Tree Pit Sponsorships

Would you like to help create a greener and more vibrant cityscape? By sponsoring a tree pit, you can take full responsibility for planting and maintaining the area around a city tree. The pilgrimage town of Kevelaer offers tree pit sponsorships for individual city trees.

Whether perennials, grasses, bulbs, or low-growing shrubs, there are many design options to choose from. Care is taken to consider the needs of the tree and its roots, as well as ecological and aesthetic factors. The pilgrimage town of Kevelaer will be happy to advise you on selecting suitable plants. As a tree pit sponsor, you can also support the city’s trees by watering the tree pit—especially during prolonged periods of heat and drought—gently loosening the soil, and removing debris.

Would you like to sponsor a tree pit and help bring more greenery to Kevelaer? Then fill out the tree pit sponsorship agreement from the download section and let us know which tree pit you’d like to sponsor. Then send the completed agreement by mail or email to the Pilgrimage City of Kevelaer. We’ll then check whether the desired tree pit is suitable for sponsorship.

Tree Pit Sponsorship

Would you like to get even more actively involved in promoting climate adaptation and a greener cityscape? In addition to tree-pit sponsorships, you can sponsor a flower bed through Stadtwerke or Technische Betriebe Kevelaer for a small fee. Together with your neighbors, you can tend to a flower bed on your street and actively help beautify the cityscape. At the same time, you’ll create valuable habitat for insects and make a small but important contribution to a climate-resilient urban environment.
