How accessible are urban greenspaces? 🌳🚵 Drawing on a case study, Weber et al. find that it differs between age groups & nature qualities considered. Future #landscapeplanning will benefit from disaggregated information to enhance #EnvironmentalJustice ➡️https://t.co/sSD6VKLyDD
🌱 In the coastal city of Ostend, Belgium, the 1996 goal of 120-ha of afforestation continues with currently 90-ha of forest coverage.

We're wrapping up the PESFOR-W Final Conference - thank you to all who joined us and followed the conference!
Find all outputs of our COST action here: https://t.co/575jf4WZcG
We plan to continue our work on this important topic - stay tuned for future activities!
Another important delivarable from #PESFORW is the spatial repository.
https://t.co/M9lrrdKhvP
The repository includes case studies on water-related #EcosystemServices provided by forest/tree ecosystems
Want to know where it's best to plant trees within a farmed landscape, to reduce diffuse polution? Download our step-by-step guide for designing forests-for-water-services payment schemes!

60% of EU surface water bodies are in poor ecological status.
In the next decade, the EU Green Deal, ecosystem restoration targets and the 8th Environmental Action Program of EU Environment, will focus on addressing this issue. For more information: https://t.co/6PsyVnMDup
