“Urban Forestry and Public Humanities in Hong Kong” is an immersive, hands-on program designed for CUHK students to explore the vital role trees play in cooling our streets, cleaning our air, and boosting community well-being. Led by scholars, experts, and artists, you will gain knowledge about our trees and the role they play in our urban and rural environment and ecosystem. You will also learn to develop an aesthetic relationship with our trees by watching them, listening to them, and capturing them in artistic ways. Whether you like trees or community building, you will leave with the tools and knowledge needed to promote urban nature. Registration is open to all full-time CUHK students, with a quota of 20.
