Urban Forestry – Förvaltning av stadens skog och träd

Städer utan skog och träd är inte hållbara! Därför behövs Urban forestry, det vill säga att på vetenskaplig, konstnärlig och teknisk grund förvalta tätortsnära skog och träd för att öka deras ekologiska, estetiska och samhälleliga värden. Genom att kombinera kunskapsfälten landskapsarkitektur, skogsvetenskap och ekologi i ett samarbete mellan institutionerna för Landskapsarkitektur, planering och förvaltning samt Sydsvensk skogsvetenskap erbjuder denna kurs ett unikt tillfälle att utveckla sin förmåga kring att hållbart förvalta städers skog och träd utifrån såväl sociala, kulturella som miljömässiga och ekonomiska aspekter. Fokus för kursen är den tätortsnära skog men ett flertal kopplingar till andra delar av stadens trädresurs såsom park- och gatuträd görs. Kursen tränar studenten i att kombinera sociala, kulturella och biologiska värden genom en ändmålenlig design, planering och skötsel av den urbana skogen. Föreläsningar kombineras med exkursioner, övningar och seminarier där studenternas och lärarnas olika bakgrunder används som en viktig pedagogisk resurs. Ett projekt löper genom hela kursen och tränar studenterna i att utveckla och kommunicera utvecklings- och skötselplaner för tätortsnära skog och träd.
