Urban Forests – Striving for a natural balance
The seminar from Treelogic aims to provide a holistic perspective around the sociological, psychological and economic perspectives of our urban environment. Our renowned guest speakers have a wealth of valuable information and will cover the benefits of increasing tree coverage in our cities and how appropriate design allows greater planting opportunities. In addition, discussions regarding the development and implementation of urban forest management are not to be missed.
Green infrastructure is a vital component of the urban fabric and social quality and due to climatic change, issues of sustainability and community expectation, the importance of the green infrastructure has increased.
These new urban demands has necessitated an integrative approach to natural resource management. Urban Forestry embodies a multidisciplinary approach to the planning and management of all urban vegetation ranging from street trees through to peri-urban (urban fringe) woodlands and forests (Konijnendijk, et al. 2005).
The seminar is about the development of greener, more sustainable cities to help communities become better places to live, learn, work and play. I hope you or your colleagues will consider coming to our seminar. I have attached some promotional material.
