Climate & Biodiversity (Dutch)

This course is designed for experienced green professionals who want to deepen their knowledge in climate-resilient planting and biodiversity. It is particularly relevant for:

• Landscape architects and designers aiming to create sustainable, biodiverse projects
• Gardeners and arborists who want to make responsible planting choices
• Green space managers and policymakers working towards climate-resilient and biodiverse public spaces

In this course, you’ll learn how to select tree and shrub species that can withstand climate change, and how to enhance biodiversity across different environments. You’ll gain insight into the laws and regulations related to nature and biodiversity, and how to apply them in your own projects.

You’ll also discover the ecosystem services that trees and shrubs provide, and how they contribute to a healthier and more resilient living environment. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to develop green projects that are not only climate-resilient but also have a positive impact on biodiversity.

The course takes place at our nursery in Sint-Oedenrode – an inspiring setting where theory and practice come together. Our modern training facility, De Groene Ruimte, is fully equipped to offer an effective and engaging learning experience. During lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to further expand your plant assortment knowledge using the available materials.
