Field trip

Integrated Multifunctional Forestry in Urban Agglomerations

Friday 17 September, 2010  (approx. 8AM till 10PM)

During the one-day field trip the participants will be introduced to aspects of "Integrated Multifunctional Forestry in Urban Agglomerations" in the surroundings of Dresden.  The participants will experience the miracles of Saxon nature when visiting the national park “Saxon Switzerland”. The challenge of mapping forest functions will be the topic of a short visit at the research center of “ Staatsbetrieb Sachsenforst”, the regional state forest service in Saxony. Further, the participants will be introduced to the forestry development conception of the Moritzburg castle area, an impressive baroque hunting lodge, that is surrounded by stretches of water. A visit to the castle, game reserve, and close-by recreation forest will also be in the agenda. The trip will conclude with a visit to the forest park  “Weißer Hirsch” followed by a one of a kind culinary expedition.
