-a demonstration of urban forestry
Next to the Campus Arboretum, on the north side of the SLU building, you will find ‘The Forest of the Future’. Starting with a self-seeded young forest that had grown up after clear-cutting twenty years earlier, in 1990 a group of forestry researchers led by Jan Falck cleared no fewer than 12 different plots, which were given names such as the willow forest, the rowan forest, the children’s forest and the dog’s forest. By selectively saving certain tree species and varying the number of stems, they created large differences between the various plots, and today it can be difficult to understand that they all originate from the same self-regenerated young forest. Take the opportunity to have a look.
