In a silver (= white) shield are a red, embattled tower (dexter side) and a green oak leaf (sinister side).
Meaning:
The red tower is a canting element, symbolising a castle made of stone, i.e. Steinburg. The municipality was generated, when Eichede, Mollhagen and Sprenge merged in 1978. Name giver was a nearby forest district. The leaf is symbolising:
1) Eichede and thus is also canting.
2) an entry in a register from 1709, where the three municipalities were called "Stormanian wood villages" (stormansche Holzdörfer), which had to provide timber and charcoal.
3) the nowadays conservation of nature and environment.
The leaf is bigger than the castle, because nature lasts longer then any act of mankind.
