Balancing Technology and Expertise in Urban Forestry

Nadina Galle is an ecological engineer, National Geographic Explorer, science and nature writer, podcaster, and keynote speaker. She helps green professionals use emerging technologies to improve urban ecosystems for future generations. 

She is the author of the book, The Nature of Our Cities, which is the topic of our conversation. Through rich stories from the book, in this episode we explore:

• The importance of urban nature for climate resilience, health and children.  
• The Internet of Nature, emerging technologies that are helping nature to thrive in cities.
• How to improve the survival of urban trees.
• Which cities are leading the way in a technological approach to managing urban nature.
• The potential risks of becoming over-reliant on technology and how to avoid this.
