Respect for the green space

 
 

Within our Interreg project URBforDAN, experts in urban forest management have presented a series of proposals for minimal interventions and with respect for green space, which will allow the development of a part of the forest in order to increase the leisure facilities in the area. Stay tuned to our project, so that you will see, what are the further outcomes of the project and what will be realised in Făget forest in Cluj! Feel free to follow us on Facebook!
