Humboldt Forum to Plant 18 Tree Species from Three Climate Zones
Five years after its opening, the Humboldt Forum in Berlin is set to become greener with the planting of 18 different tree species from three climate zones, including Japanese cherry blossoms and North American autumn foliage. The trees are intended to evoke the travels of naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. The project includes three tree islands and several seating areas, aiming to create a resting place while contributing to sustainable urban development. Sponsors can adopt a tree of their choice. The Humboldt Forum is a major exhibition center located in the partially reconstructed Berlin Palace, housing collections from the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art.
