Overview

• The nomination-style campaign asks participants to plant a tree, post a proof video on Instagram or Facebook, and nominate three others, with a Brotzeit owed if they miss the deadline.
• Feuerwehr Kempfenhausen drew attention with a playful, staged video and planted a birch tree they plan to water regularly.
• The Nornheim fire brigade declined to add a new tree, citing an existing sponsorship, and donated 112 euros to the Kartei der Not while opting not to pass on nominations.
• In the Holzkirchen area, groups including De Damischen took part and redirected the challenge by skipping new nominations and giving 500-euro gifts to local youth and rescue organizations.
• Reporters say total plantings in Bavaria likely number in the thousands, even as there is no centralized count and local fire leaders frame the effort as hands-on nature protection.
