On Saturday 20.4. the Forestry Days took place in Bratislava, where the event is mainly attended by parents with children. The theme of this year’s days was Forests and Innovation. During both days WWF presented the activities of the CLIMAFORCEELIFE project, we explained to the public the need for introducing climate-smart forest management using the example of forests in the Záhorie region. To better explain the issue of adaptation of forests to climate change, we use various interactive aids adapted for adults and children.
