Our 2025 Sustainable Initiative with The Danish Nature Foundation
As we close out the year, 1 Hotel Copenhagen has chosen to support local initiatives that protect and restore Denmark’s natural landscapes for future generations. We are proud to contribute to the Lerbjerg Forest restoration project in collaboration with The Danish Nature Foundation – an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to safeguarding and restoring nature across the country. Through long-term protection and land restoration, the Foundation helps create healthier habitats for wildlife while ensuring that Denmark’s forests and open landscapes can be experienced and enjoyed, now and in the years to come.
