Lecture Ernst Zürcher
Trees in the city, a real place to create
The ARBR'EMOTIONS event starts with a lecture by Ernst Zürcher:
"Trees in the city, a real place to create".
Ernst Zürcher will talk to us about trees and the importance of their place in the city, both as a climate regulator and as a source of biodiversity. He will be talking about the importance of old trees and the need to replant trees in order to clear the city of concrete and create more green spaces to connect citizens with nature close to home. Not forgetting the benefits to our health and the importance of looking after the trees that surround us.
