On March 23rd, 2023, 21 students from ETH Zürich had the chance to learn about habitat trees and their microhabitats in a new Integrate+ marteloscope site in Baden (Switzerland).

The students performed a tree marking exercise with the aim to identify and retain the ten most ecologically valuable trees while reducing the growing stock by 20%. The results of this marteloscope exercise were discussed with the local forester, followed by an interesting discussions about conflicting trees and integrative measures for promoting biodiversity in an oak-beech-managed forest. The Integrate+ software has been an excellent tool for teaching students tree microhabitats and tree marking!
