Protecting trees during construction - Learn how to create effective protection plans

Urban construction projects often put the survival of trees at risk - not because they have to be felled, but because they are damaged along the way. Roots are destroyed, soil compaction increases and crowns are damaged - often unnecessarily. With the right knowledge and planning, trees can be preserved, even in complex construction projects.

From standard to practice - protecting trees for real

This course provides you with knowledge on how to work preventively to avoid damage to trees during construction. We go through:

• Current standards and guidelines for tree protection in construction

• How to integrate security measures at different stages of the construction process

• Examples of clear and functioning protection plans

• Practical tips on checkpoints, roles and follow-up

The course is aimed at those who work in design, construction management, procurement or administration - and want to be able to create policy documents that really work in practice.
