Uforest Case Study: WOWnature
Objective: 

One of the activities foreseen by the Uforest project is researching innovative Urban Forestry initiatives across Europe. For this reason, the Uforest team has selected and analysed some of the most interesting urban forestry projects in the continent, with the aim to illustrate real practices and eventually inspire others to start greening their cities. Among them, we selected WOWnature. 

WOWnature is an initiative powered by Etifor that gives the possibility to adopt and plant trees, with the dual objective of creating new forests and protect existing ones. It gives anyone (citizens, companies, organisations) the possibility to do their part in taking care of nature around us. Indeed, WOWnature’s claim is “Nature is good for you. Take care of it”.

The Uforest project aims at promoting Europe’s innovation capacity among universities, cities and businesses to deliver a new approach to Urban Forestry. The project is co-funded by the Erasmu+ Programme of the European Union.  Learn more at: https://www.uforest.eu/
