Public authorities
Trees are alive, are our lungs and also serve as an air conditioner in the built environment. Therefore, trees will always be needed in the urban environment, just as cables, pipes, sewers and roads are indispensable. Without help, these do not go well together. The life expectancy of an average urban tree is only ten years. These trees therefore contribute nothing to the city’s climate, biodiversity and climate adaptation. Mature, functional trees are the most natural solution for limiting the effects of climate change in the public space.
With our sustainable and innovative green solutions, we ensure that green and infrastructure go hand in hand, while also generating major savings for the future.
