Fall 2022: “rewilding” course.
What is rewilding? How to put it into practice ? How to evaluate the naturalness of a forest? Of a river? This fall, Forêt & Naturalité is organizing a workshop to better understand rewilding and naturalness, concepts that are becoming increasingly important in nature conservation and biodiversity preservation.
We propose a course of two times two days, two days in the Ardennes and two days in the Netherlands. Theoretical and practical aspects will be discussed during classroom sessions and field trips by the Forêt & Naturalité team and international experts.
