As part of the European project URBforDAN – Management and Utilization of Urban Forests as Natural Heritage in Danube Cities, the City of Ljubljana, the leading partner of the project, in cooperation with the Slovenia Forest Service prepared a Strategy for Urban Forest Development for the period from 2020 to 2045.

• providing opportunities for leisure activities and recreation as well as promotion of sustainable tourism,

• providing opportunities for education and lifelong learning,

• preserving nature and cultural heritage,

• creating a supportive environment for forest owners,

• promoting circular economy and

• developing integrated management.
