🌳🌱 Planting Trees and Testing Soil 🌳🌱 This weekend, we had the pleasure of engaging with our ambassadors and Amsterdam-Noord neighbors at the 10-year anniversary of Tolhuistuin. Sven Jense gave a great presentation on the benefits of healthy soil, from it’s role in reversing climate change to growing healthy crops, sustainably. Using our soil sampling machine, we assessed soil carbon in three locations around our office. Unsurprisingly, the soil near Shell's old offices was the least healthy, while the garden area around an old tree showed the best results. This highlights the profound impact of industrial activities on soil quality. To conclude the day, we planted two paulownia trees, known for their rapid growth (3-5 meters per year), making them ideal for future green (construction) projects. How healthy do you think your soil is? Let us know if you’re interested in getting it tested! Understanding and improving soil health is essential for climate resilience and sustainability.
