Challenge Climate Change
Urban Forestry or Arboriculture.
The methods of Urban Forestry Management can help us to make our cities greener, healthier and happier.
In our changing world, forests and similar natural elements play a crucial role in the wellbeing of more and more people who live in urban areas. Land resources are scarce, green refuges are under heavy pressure from unsustainable development and global warming effects. Existing green resources are under stress from human activities and environment pollution. Therefore it is good and necessary to manage these scarce green resources and make the best out of them. For example to choose the right species in quantity and quality, regarding water, heat stress and dryness (micro-climate) as well as local soil conditions.
