City of Trees. Inspiration and activities to teach about the importance of urban trees and forests (D5.3)

The educational package has been developed for reaching out to school children (10-14 years) and teachers. This package includes adapted versions of the selected content delivered by the project. The importance of forests and the benefits of single trees in the cities are still too vaguely understood by the urban inhabitants, students and teachers alike. We hope the compilation of this material lowers the threshold to make trees and forests part of your teaching, across subject lines. It is of utmost important to help the students of today recognize the importance of trees in our immediate living sphere. We invite you to teach your students about urban trees and forests in a manner that allows them the easy integration and application of the learnt material, and finally, inspires your students to notice, value and protect the urban trees and forests now and in the future for the health of our planet. http://clearinghouseproject.eu/city-of-trees
