Helen Wiesinger
Graduated in Forest and Environmental Sciences, Wiesinger has collaborated with Civico Orto Botanico of Trieste for the Germplasm Bank. In 2011 she moved to Trento, where she’s dedicated herself to ornamental trees and their recognition exercises at the University of Trento. Since 2013 she’s been working at the MUSE Science Museum in Trento as in charge of educational activities in the botanical field with planning and management of educational services.
The encounter conceived by Helen Wiesinger, in collaboration with MUSE and guided by Giulia Lo Re, introduces participants to the landscape and natural environment of Viote.
The group moves through the collections of the Alpine Botanical Garden, which include around 2,000 high-altitude plant species, many of them endangered. Vegetation and its history become a key through which to read the relationship between humans and the environment in Alpine contexts.
