Naomi Zürcher ist Urban Forester. Sie weiss, was Bäume können und brauchen. Ein Wissen, das angesichts der steigenden Temperaturen in den Städten und der hitze-mindernden Wirkung von Grün an Bedeutung gewinnt. Auf einem Spaziergang durch Zürich im Sommer 2022 erklärte sie anhand konkreter Beispiele, wo ein Umdenken in der Planung, Pflanzung und Pflege von Strassenbäumen nötig ist, damit sie leisten können, was wir von ihnen brauchen. Der Landschaftsarchitekt Alexandre Roulin und der Verkehrsplaner Robert Klemm rekapitulieren den gemeinsamen Spaziergang und hören dabei immer wieder in die Aufzeichnungen hinein.

What’s an Urban Forester, you say? It’s really cool: Georgia Seamans basically helps oversee the ecology of the nature in city parks — and in this case, it’s a fairly major park in New York City. Who would’ve guessed you could live in one of the biggest concrete jungles in the world and be a forester? I really loved my chat with Georgia... it kinda made me want to put on my khakis and hiking boots and follow her around for a day.

Forests provide all kinds of value to our lives, from picturesque views, habitat for animals to the oxygen we breath and much more. Everyone can see the benefits of wild places and natural forests but we often negate the habitat in our back yards. Urban forests play a huge role in our day to day lives that we often don't appreciate. Cleaning the pollution from our air, reducing energy costs through insulating our neighborhoods, reducing the effects of wind and rain, and much more while simultaneously providing that warm and comfortable feeling we all associate with the presence of trees. Crispin is the Parks Manager and Urban Forester for the city of Edmonton. He came on to discuss the role of urban forests in our lives and provide some insight into their value. Cool link below to see the exact value of each tree in Edmonton, from energy savings, oxygen produced, carbon sequestered and much more. https://www.opentreemap.org/edmonton/map/
