The first comment this month was posted on this blog:
This blog is a great summary of all the problems that can be linked with ‘Urban Forestry’ but that is all it seems to be. Having not attended this lecture and knowing literally nothing about forestry puts me at a disadvantage. I think you need to make sure you cover more of the seminar content in the future.
Make sure you cover what ‘Urban Forestry’ is! If you can do that and make sure you induce a summary including your opinion on the matter then this blog would be great. Maybe a few more pictures too.
Having literally no knowledge on this subject I can’t really form an opinion from what you have written. If you want to expand your blog you could use a link or two. I found one from the Forestry Commission (http://www.forestry.gov.uk/fr/INFD-88XEEV) which gives a great overview of the topic.
and the second comment can be found here:
This really is a great blog! you summarise the seminar really well (one that i didn’t attend) and i feel like I know all the key points that were covered with no gaps, well done!
I like how you have used questions to start a paragraph and bold text to highlight key points! Linking to a website and a video is also really useful.
In future it would be nice to if you could include some pictures to break up the text a little bit and illustrate what you are saying. You could even back up what you are saying with some sources to make this blog even better. I have found a paper that evaluates The possible negative effects of having trees and forests close to people (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389934103000236) which is worth a read.
It would be really nice if you could end this blog with either what you left the seminar with in terms of new knowledge or your opinion on the subject and how urban forestry could benefit/disadvantage people in the future.
