Our cities are constantly changing: the streets make way for new cycle\u00a0paths, squares are renewed, and we\u00a0build new parking lots. And with all this works, many trees<\/strong> are destroyed. In Rotterdam<\/strong> this\u00a0will not happen again. The cultural association Mothership<\/strong> has created an innovative project<\/strong>\u00a0with a great environmental<\/strong> value<\/strong>: the Bobbing<\/strong> Forest<\/strong>, a small floating forest<\/strong> that will allow to\u00a0recover trees with the use of pre-existing and recycled\u00a0marker buoys.<\/p>\n

\"Rotterdam,<\/p>\n

The project, based on the artwork “In Search Of Habitus<\/em>” by the artist Jorge<\/strong> Bakker<\/strong>, was launched on March 16, 2016, after 4 years of research, testing and experimentation to study its capacity for growth, resistance to salinity and potential of success.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the collaboration with the students of the Faculty of Applied Sciences, University of Van Hall Larenstein they have found the best way to keep\u00a0plants in the waters of the port and\u00a0in addition to identifying the most suitable tree species: the Dutch elm<\/strong> that can grow rapidly and to hold stand against\u00a0wind and water, without the need for frequent pruning.\u00a0So, from that day in March, twenty\u00a0trees float in the port of Rotterdam, a few meters from the wharf. It is the first floating forest of history<\/strong>, a truly original green space<\/strong> that will allow a significant reduction<\/strong> of CO2<\/strong> emissions, making the city more livable.<\/p>\n

This is a work with a great and unusual visual impact and a really green project, with a great message: it wants to be a reminder of the relationship between city and nature, and how trees and greenery\u00a0positively affect our lives.<\/p>\n
