Due to the high level of construction activity in the canton of Zug and changes in agriculture, the number of cherry trees has fallen massively over the last thirty years. The "1000 cherry trees for Zug" project launched by IG Zuger Chriesi increased the number of standard cherry trees around the city of Zug, strengthened the importance of Zug cherries and increased the appetite for Zug cherries and their products. Today, cherry growing in the canton of Zug is part of the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of the "Living Traditions of Switzerland".
