For the benefit of the Gastein forests

Giving Back Tree Planting Campaign

Also in 2023, the adidas TERREX INFINITE TRAILS initiate a big Giving Back tree planting campaign to reforest damaged forest areas in the Gastein Valley.

With a symbolic monetary donation of five euros per tree, participants and spectators had purchased a total of 800 saplings in 2022. The first 100 Swiss stone pines were planted by the participants of the aIT Community Weekend on 9.6.23 near the Graukogel mid-station. Another 700 trees will now be planted in September in the Bürgerwald in Angertal.
