Trees in the city area

We encounter them in parks, on roadsides, in cemeteries and at numerous other locations, including outside the city forest: around 11,000 trees that significantly beautify Hilden's cityscape.
You can find out everything about tree care from the Green Spaces and Forestry Department (of the Civil Engineering and Green Spaces Office).

Of particular importance is also the tree protection statute, which has been in force since 2010 and which, in brief, contains the following regulation: trees with a trunk circumference of at least 90 cm (measured at a height of 100 cm above the ground) may not be felled, but must be preserved, maintained and protected from danger. This applies to all trees, with a few exceptions.

Water bags for tree patrons

If you would like to help an urban tree in your neighborhood, you can sponsor a tree and receive a free water bag from the city of Hilden. Especially in dry summers and during long periods of heat, city trees appreciate any additional support. In this video, we show step by step how to use the watering bags correctly so that the water reaches where the tree needs it.
