  • 5+1 reasons to plant untrained saplings in cities instead of pre-grown nursery trees - Experiences of Municipality of Hegyvidék, district 12 of Budapest

    The municipality of Hegyvidék developed a tree replacement strategy for the district within the Urban Green Belts (UGB) CENTRAL EUROPE project, with special attention to district trees and tree rows, in collaboration with experts from the International Dendrological Foundation. Following the creation of the strategy, the municipality launched the Hegyvidék Sapling and Young Tree Program in 2019, in which it began the experimental planting of young, untrained saplings in the district instead of pre-grown nursery trees.

  • How to organise an efficient bioblitz event to map urban biodiversity and activate local communities? - Experiences of Siena (Italy) within and beyond the City Nature Challenge

    Bioblitz is a great tool using citizen science to activate and raise awareness of local communities along with biodiversity. According to National Geographic, it is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible in a specific area over a short period, usually 24 hours. A bioblitz brings together volunteer scientists, as well as families, students, teachers, and other members of the community. While a scientific survey often focuses on unique or isolated areas, bioblitzes usually focus on urban green areas.
