EFUF 2019 – Urban Forests: Full of Energy
Urban forests are vibrant places for multifaceted recreational activities, social gathering and mental restoration, but also provide biomass for an urban bioeconomy. They are full of energy. And so is the venue of this years’ conference: the German Sport University Cologne – the perfect location to explore energetic interactions of trees and human beings.
The 22nd European Forum on Urban Forestry will be full of energy. We will focus on the urban forest as …
- … the healthy forest: sport, wellbeing and human health
- … the spiritual forest: culture, religion and art
- … the learning forest: research, laboratories and education
- … the co-designed forest: diverging interests, governance and urban forest management
The Forum starts with a welcome drink on Tuesday the 21st of May in the Kölner Brauhaus. The official start is scheduled on Wednesday the 22nd of May at 9:30, at the German Sport University Cologne (40 minutes by public transport from Cologne Main Station). The conference ends the 24th of May (late afternoon), followed with an optional excursion on Saturday the 25th.
The European Forum on Urban Forestry (EFUF) is a unique meeting place for practitioners, policy-makers, managers and scientists who are active in urban forestry, urban greening and green infrastructure. Since 1997, the EFUF has met annually to discuss new developments, to exchange experiences, and to visit examples of good practices.
