❓ 🌲 🌳 ❓ As the #MigForest team is deploying assisted migration in France, Germany and Belgium, soon starting planting the plots, how will we select the provenances of seeds and seedlings? What will be our method to make sure selected trees have the best chances to adapt to current and future climate conditions? ➡️ Read it here https://lnkd.in/dpzzYZtd #forestry #assistedmigration #climatechange Néosylva ONF (Office National des Forêts) INBO (Research Institute for Nature and Forest - Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek) Forest Research Institute Baden-Württemberg Société Royale Forestière de Belgique - Koninklijke Belgische Bosbouwmaatschappij (SRFB-KBBM) CRA-W Centre wallon de Recherches agronomiques

💸 Money Over Lives? 🌍 "Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, and the last stream poisoned will we realize we cannot eat money." This image hits me hard, reminding me of this old proverb😢😶 We need to rethink our priorities! 🤔 #Sustainability #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #Forestry #RiskManagement #Resilience #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction #SaveThePlanet #Environment #Ecology #Nature #Emergency *** Follow Ankit Jajoo 🌱 for exciting bits on #Sustainableliving

🌳 💻 Foresters and students in forest management can also benefit from digitalization. ❓ What is a marteloscope? ❓How can it be supported by a digital application? ❓What are the objectives of the Fordil-Erasmus+project, compared to existing digital tools like #I+Trainer (from European Forest Institute) or #Sylvothèque (from Forest Department of Université de Berne)? ❓And how can it help #foresters apply the Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) approach by themselves? ➡️ Learn all about it in this article https://lnkd.in/eC6XyZpZ #forestry #CCF #marteloscope Société Royale Forestière de Belgique Mendelova univerzita v Brně Institut de Genech #ITHGembloux #CDAF

MIYAWAKI OR TINY FORESTS These are now being heavily promoted and installed in many countries all over the world. Social media is awash with ill-informed and misleading stories and messages supporting the concept - mainly written by well-meaning but inexperienced evangelists who want to save the planet. Many professional foresters and arboriculturists have grave concerns about Miyawaki plantings - they are unnecessary, unnatural, wasteful and expensive. The resultant clumps of trees (up to 12 per sq.m) form dense, dark and impenetrable thickets that people cannot walk through or under. They do not appeal to many fauna (including pollinating insects) nor do they encourage the ground and field layers of habitat that natural forests do. I invite anyone interested or involved in this missapplied and flawed product to read this article - that was peer reviewed and published earlier this year. #urbanforestry #arboriculture #miyawaki #miyawakiforests #tinyforests #sugiforests #pocketforests #urbangreening #trees #forests #treeplanting #wellbeing #greeninfrastructure #climatechange #carbonsequestration #greenwashing #ecology

The world’s forests are becoming increasingly susceptible to wildfires and pests due to climate change, according to a new report by FAO The study further calls for innovation in the forestry sector alongside urgent action from the international community to tackle these challenges and move closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. https://lnkd.in/gEqJp3MP

Agroforestry systems can reach 50 to 80% of the biodiversity of natural forests.   Learn more about FAO’s work on #agroforestry here 👉 https://bit.ly/3VVcKdj   #COFO27 #WFW9 #GenerationRestoration

Minimizing downtime is crucial in the forest. With remote connectivity to Eco Log and Volvo Penta support, we provide timely assistance to enhance smooth operations. Hear from Frans about how this support makes a difference. #forestry #volvopenta #ecolog #industrialengines

For hundreds of thousands of years we have used trees as a home, as protection and for nourishment. Through #agroforestry we can create a bridge with that ancestral #nature of ours, feel protected, protect our crops, our #animals and our #future. Imagine a new landscape, one that mitigates microclimates, that imbues the land with the capacity to respond positively to adverse weather events, that stops erosion and flooding, that sequesters #carbon, that provides a home for birds, insects and animals. We can bring productivity, #ecosystem services and beauty together, then why not? When farms will merge with #woodlands and #prairies, instead of #deserts and landslides, we will have already taken a big step. ph.
