城市中的森林
9:00am - 6:00pm November 19, 2024
Presented by: The Natural Areas Conservancy
事件信息
“Forested natural areas” are distinct from other parts of the urban forest, like street and park trees, 就规模而言, 生物多样性, species composition, and how they’re managed. These spaces look and feel like the woods, and support plant and animal communities from the soil underfoot to the leaves in the top of the forest canopy. Urban forested natural areas are complex ecosystems that face multiple and magnified stressors which are amplified in the urban context.
The 城市中的森林 网络 (FiC) was launched in 2019 to promote and advance healthy forested natural areas in cities across America through science, 管理, 合作伙伴关系, and communications. It is composed of teams of forest practitioners and advocates from 21 metro regions across the United States. This workshop is a time for 网络 members and partners to connect, engage in peer-to-peer learning, and discover new advancements in the field of forested natural areas 管理.
This meeting Offers:
- A space for those interested in forested natural areas to connect, 网络, and share best practices for protecting and managing urban forested natural areas.
- Presentations on new advancements in the field along with facilitated discussions.
- A field trip to experience first-hand how our partners in the Chicago Region are restoring local forested natural areas.

大沼泽公园 Once the site of a steel and other industry dumping ground, 大沼泽公园 is now 300 acres of hemi-marsh 湿地, 草原, 灌木丛, 稀澳门威尼斯人游戏大草原, and unique slag habitats under active ecological restoration. The park is home to the Ford Calumet Environmental Center and hosts a bike park with features for all abilities. Big Marsh also hosts a number of research projects, from small mammal diversity, to the effects of brush pile burns on soil and community ecology, to exploring “slag barrens” as a novel ecosystem and habitat for protecting rare dolomite 草原 species.
杰克逊公园 In 1890, Chicago was selected for the world’s fair with Frederick Law Olmsted as the designer and Daniel Burnham chief of construction at 杰克逊公园. The oak 林地 at 杰克逊公园’s Wooded Island was intended as a respite from the hurly-burly of the great fair. A large-scale project beginning in 2015 created additional native habitat and enhanced existing areas within 杰克逊公园, including 稀澳门威尼斯人游戏大草原, 林地, 湿地, 草原, 沙丘栖息地, in addition to amenity improvements such as trails and overlooks. 杰克逊公园 natural areas are managed by the park district as well as multiple volunteer groups. Today, 杰克逊公园 is one of the most popular birding locations in the city. -
