Nature in the city: Tree walk

Traditionally, we conclude the nature-in-the-city triptych with a tree special. How are the trees doing in our Mechelen city center? What is their role in the urban ecosystem? How do they survive in an often hostile environment: which are the success stories and which the losers? And importantly: do our trees get the respect they deserve for all those free services they provide us? Guide: Peter De Ridder
