#URBforDAN The last stage in the implementation of the project

   The last stage in the implementation of the project «Management and use of urban forests as natural heritage in Danube cities» was the installation of three bicycle stops along the paved bicycle route on Vovchynets Hill.

   Locals from nearby villages, such as Vovchynets, Kolodiivka, Dobrovlyany, as well as cyclists who like to use the newly created route, have received new areas where can stop, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

   The URBforDAN project aims to approach actual needs and challenges linked to sustainable management of natural heritage within urban areas of the Danube Region. That is why a transnational approach is needed in order for those big challenges to be effectively resolved.URBforDAN is designed to deliver a change in urban forest management and utilization of ecosystem services. They are provided by pre-selected areas in seven project partner cities. The project is intended to keep the current image of urban forests and to make sure that the forest areas become places for socialization, relaxation, recreation and education. Also, a high-quality experience of natural heritage and green tourism for a diverse set of target groups has to be ensured. URBforDAN aims to improve cooperation between key actors to resolve conflicts and improve management of urban forests.
