April 11, 2023 @ 4:00 pm – April 14, 2023 @ 7:00 pm
This event is co-hosted by Technical University of Munich, the University of British Columbia and the University of Melbourne. Participants will present best practice and work together to create guidelines for shared pedagogical approaches. There are several strong urban forestry teaching programs in the world, but few networking opportunities or shared teaching materials and pedagogical approaches for instructors. We aim to build international cooperation amongst urban forestry educators. We hope you will join us.
