In 1825, G. D. Kuvert began planting pines on the dunes approaching Nida. Through his efforts, he demonstrated that the encroaching drifting sands could be controlled. G. D. Kuvert died in 1856. Grateful residents of the Curonian Spit buried him next to his father, Gotlib Dovid Kuvert, and with collected funds, commissioned a monument from Heino's foundry in Königsberg, which was erected in Nida. Atop the pedestal stands an amphora, symbolically holding water for watering trees. The Latin inscription on the monument reads, "...whose son Georg Dovid Kuwert Melovich, who died in 1856, was the first to plant forest trees in the desolate dunes of Nida."
