We are aiming to break people’s stereotype of looking at the forest and giving back to the forest. Forest could be considered multidimensional as the forest n, including productivity, biodiversity, and carbon sink. Still, all of them are from the human perspective and emphasize the benefits of humans. While concept of the wood wide web gives us a clue to understanding the forest from a natural standpoint. Forest will no longer be commodity or extractive landscapes. For our project, we want to find a proper reciprocate way giving back to the forest, and propose alternatives planetary-human relations.
By incorporating concepts of the wood wide web with the Green New Deal for the UK, we provide new policy design and a management prototype in Hooke Park. In the end, giving back to nature can be considered in different scales. We can also choose low-carbon lifestyles, participate in forest care, and have immersive forest experience for education as individuals or AA members.
wood wide web is the scientific way of reciprocity.
6 detailed sections from the whole Hooke Park site
Forest will no longer be commodity or extractive landscapes.
Wood wide web is a complex underground web of roots and fungi. plants provide carbon to the fungi, and in return they get nutrients.
There are 6 main characteristics or issues of Hooke Park, including rich soil area, old forest , high density forest, water-prone area, thinned area and young growing forest.
3 wood wide web models based on the general guiding of common models
wood wide web actions, which choosing the least impact tools and caring more about giving back to the nature, not use large scale machines to avoid soil compaction.
There is strong similarity between the wood wide web and human society, which enables us to think forest as a whole.
