Can we make studying science even more interesting?

Urban forestry is definitely the world around us – it’s the green heart of our cities, offering us the chance to learn so much about the environment right where we live. Our urban forests are a living laboratory for scientific exploration, including studying invasive species, climate change, ecosystem services, impacts of drought, plant growth and reproduction and much more. It’s a great example of how different parts of science come together – from biology and ecology to chemistry and even engineering. With urban forestry, we see how science isn’t just about books and memorizing facts; it’s about exploring and understanding the world around us and making it better.
