Introduction to the planting campaign by Johannes Stüttgen
Together, the earth is now dug out to place the stele and plant the tree.
Park keeper Lukas Krieger and project manager Lothar Müller position the basalt stele.
The oak is then planted.
The planting stick is hammered in to give the young oak tree support.
Now the oak and basalt stele welcome visitors to Moyland Castle.
