About Leipzig giesst

The consequences of climate change, especially the dry and hot summers, are putting a strain on Leipzig's ecosystem. Our urban trees are drying out and suffering long-term damage: In recent years, more and more trees have had to be cut down and their lifespan is declining. In the meantime, the population is regularly called upon to help, but largely uncoordinated. Leipzig giesst was made to change that and enable coordinated citizen* participation in the irrigation of urban trees. This project has been derived from GiessDenKiez, that was made by the Technologiestiftung Berlin and the CityLAB Berlin.
