The desire is to highlight the importance of forests, wood and green areas for safeguarding biodiversity and providing a healthy environment for people and animals.

The Municipality of Ljubljana said that forests were a key factor in mitigating the effects of climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

"Slovenia is extremely rich in forests, which are... also a generator of numerous jobs in the wood-processing industry," the municipality said in a press release.

Various events will be held throughout the month, with presentations of the Third Age University's club's activities focusing on wood and forest kicking the month off on Saturday. An exhibition of wooden lights and frames made of washed-up wood will also be put up.

The Ljubljana Biotechnical Faculty will organise lectures on trees and workshops for children throughout the month, and the Geological Institute will set up workshops on rocks, minerals and fossils.

A number of schools and kindergartens will also get in on the action, as will the Ljubljana City Library and the Museum of Natural History.
