There are many reasons why I volunteer at Leakin Park parkrun each weekend; but, events such as our annual Festive 5K personally brings me such joy. Here's a quick recap, written in the poetic verse of "A Night Before Christmas."
Our last lecture from the Inclusive city course is dedicated to the topic of animals in the urban environment, presented by Petr Ivanov. It's an immensely important and complex topic that requires thorough and thorough exploration. Today's material delves into the history of human-animal relationships and modern approaches to creating animal-friendly cities. During the lecture, we briefly addressed the issue of homeless animals. This issue is multifaceted and often closely tied to local culture. It's crucial to remember that stray animals, for the most part, are born and raised on the streets, possessing historical adaptations for survival in urban environments. We encourage you to explore this topic further and share any interesting findings you come across in the comments section 🤝 #moo_cud #community #cud #inclusivecity

There are two ways to view streetscape trees. On the one hand, the streetscape is a public space, and the trees planted there belong to the entire community and are a valuable public resource, no different than the trees planted in a neighborhood park. In that regard, no resident has a right to damage or remove a public tree, they don’t get a veto over public green space. The other way of looking at this is that a tree planted in a sidewalk tree pit or planting strip in front of someone’s house also impacts those residents. A sound community engagement approach centers the residents of a community and cedes a degree of decision-making to the community. There are valid arguments for both approaches. In my experience, engaging with stakeholders, and getting buy in from the residents who are directly impacted by trees is a better approach. It is far better to engage with stakeholders, and perhaps plant a few less trees, and have buy-in and support from the neighborhood. The trees planted will be wanted and better cared for than those that are arbitrarily planted without community support.
Public engagement discuss…. I’m asking the question here of the engaged professionals on LinkedIn. Having heard from tree officers and arboriculturists about the thousands of enquires that they get from the public wanting trees removed because of perceived threats or experienced nuisance; Having tried to facilitate consultation processes around trees where the parties had no desire to allow space in their own minds to comprehend one another’s drivers, needs or perceptions; Having met with members of the public, protesting about a felled tree who said to me “I want to make the tree consultant feel the pain that I feel”; But also having been involved with and seen brilliantly successful tree schemes that have engaged the public and delivered for everyone; I photographed this tree today with a paradigm in my head of what story it would tell. However, it turns out that it tells a slightly different story than is implied by my preceding list. But I’ll share that later, for now I am interested in people’s thoughts… #trees #treeplanting #publicengagement #protest #council #streets #streettrees #arboriculture #vandalism #treeofficer #iliketreesbut

Finally laid eyes on Spotted Lanternfly here in Nashville with Patrick Anderson… likely a 2nd or 3rd instar, this pest will be a reproducing adult before we know it. #SLF Reach out to Rainbow Ecoscience for SLF management protocols. https://lnkd.in/dGVpuSJt
🐦 Today, on World Sparrow Day, let's reflect on the plight of these little creatures. As their habitats disappear, sparrows are left with no place to call home. It's time to take action to preserve their habitats and ensure their survival. Let's pledge to create spaces where sparrows can thrive once again. #WorldSparrowDay #SaveOurSparrows #HabitatPreservation 🌿🏡
