Presentation and city excursion in Zürich, in collaboration with Baumläufer GmbH and the Volkshochschule Zürich

Trees and hedges – both in public and private spaces – are an important part of our cities. Their beauty and characteristics improve our quality of life, biodiversity and urban infrastructure.

Many initiatives have been launched to make our cities greener and more resilient, with more street trees, public green spaces and re-naturalized areas. But for this transformation to succeed, we also have to include private spaces, from backyard gardens to entire neighborhoods.

However, private property owners and property managers have their own concerns and priorities when it comes to adding or maintaining trees and hedges on their properties. So what is the best way to integrate and support them?

In the presentation and guided city excursion, we will explore the questions and see examples of how this can be achieved in practice.
