NEPS is pursuing its foray into Switzerland with a new installation in Geneva.

Supported by the cantonal Service of Landscape and Forests (OCAN), the town of Le Grand-Saconnex commissioned EXLTERRA to equip mostly newly planted trees to improve their health and growth.

Geneva has almost 500,000 trees (more than one per inhabitant) outside the forest with several remarkable specimens. The population is fond of this rich heritage and enjoys some of the most beautiful public parks in Europe.

The installation works took place in sunny weather last May in a park adorned with century old trees, and along a pedestrian road. Several small-leaved linden (Tilla cordata), an English oak (Quercus robur), a Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and a line of plane trees (Platanus) were thus equipped with NEPS in record time and without disturbance to passers-by.

Geneva people may now be excited to think that, one day, their great-grandchildren will be lucky to contemplate historical trees helped by NEPS in Le Grand Saconnex!
