Welcome to Listy z lesa (“Leaves from the Forest”), the magazine of the Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Its aim is to show the general public that the fields of forestry and wood science are both topical and attractive. As a public university, we consider it necessary to consistently fulfil our mission which, in addition to educational and scientific research activities, also includes the transfer of knowledge into practice, communication with the public, and social responsibility.
We believe that every reader across all age categories with different professional interests will find a section that will interest them, broaden their horizons, or at least entertain them.
The third issue of Listy z lesa presents new scientific findings in a popular-educational format, such as the key role of forests in regulating CO2. It also presents the working environment of our students and staff, including the new Forest Risk Research Centre. It contains interviews with our students and graduates, several pages of fun activities for children, and recipes for preparing game meat. You will learn about the new Klíšťapka application (Tick App) and new podcast episodes focused on forest fires and the “forest pharmacy”.
