+ | ====Workshop 2: Day2==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Exploration of trees in the city of Brussels (1000) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ** * Introduction to the juridic context & management of trees and parks** | ||
+ | It is complicated :-) | ||
+ | |||
+ | These public trees can belong to different official owners: the city, the Region (regional roads & parks), the king, the federal state. This is the first thing to find out. | ||
+ | All trees in protected parks are also protected: Parc ROyal, Egmontpark, Leopoldpark, | ||
+ | The trees in Regional parks and on Regional roads are signed with a number. | ||
+ | The newly planted trees in the city of Brussels have only been registered since 2008. In 2011 the city started an (non-publicly accessible) inventory of all trees in 1000 Brussels. It is not finished yet. The rumour goes there are about 40000 different trees. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Region has set up a public database on ' | ||
+ | Selection criteria are: a considerable trunk (at 1,5m), the localisation (the more visible for the more people, more remarkable), | ||
+ | |||
+ | The team of the 'Cel Groene Zones' of the city of Brussels has selection criteria to chose trees to plant. The trees are ' | ||
+ | * their roots resist salt (in winter) | ||
+ | * they resist pollution (cars/ | ||
+ | * they resist litter & vandalism (when you break a branch of a fruit tree it will not survive) | ||
+ | * they can stand presence of humans at their roots (a walnut tree needs rest at the roots for the first 15y of its life, treading the soil condenses the soil and puts pressure on the roots) | ||
+ | * they are easy to maintain and don't cause too much trouble for inhabitants (leafs that fall off, block the sewage etc) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Trees that are frequently planted: plataan, ash, lime tree, hazel, hawthorn | ||
+ | Another criteria that is on stake for trees in the city: the presence of sewage, waterinfrastructure, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ** * exploration city** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Walk in the city center, looking at trees, what they provide us with, how we could ent them | ||
+ | Final destination: | ||
+ | Discovery: the mini-oasis of biodiversity on Pantsertroepensquare, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Walk in the city forest: park of Laken waar bomen meer meubels zijn voor mensen, ontdekking van venijnbomen (in serie) die stof afgeven, de vrouwtjes; van genummerde bomen (check!) en van de onnoembare mens-diersporen (ze lopen hier door elkaar, vb kippenstrotje & wilde kastanjes, rest van okkernoot – murderstory) | ||
