Every year the demand for adventure activities for companies increases. Both large companies and small work groups have discovered that organizing such events regularly is very positive for the internal dynamics of organizations, improving corporate competence and the sense of belonging to a team.
One of the most frequent activities in this field are the zip line circuits, a specialty that has a lot to do with adventure sports, and that encourages the development of useful skills for the job. These types of events are usually complemented by training seminars, business lunches, coaching sessions or even more commercial meetings. An adventure park can become the ideal place to develop all these types of activities.

Basically, the idea is to go through a circuit of zip lines in height, from tree to tree. Participants are usually equipped with a safety harness tied at the waist, with two carabiners and a pulley that is placed on a cable. The sensation experienced is similar to that of flying, once the participant jumps and glides through the zip line. When the next tree is reached, the person disconnects from that cable and connects to the next one, and so on until the whole circuit is finished.

The experience can be very interesting for various reasons. The first is to check the reaction of a group if it is being evaluated. There are several aspects, such as the initiative or the fear of launching into the void, which denote the degree of trust that each person has. In addition, these events serve to encourage team collaboration and motivation in the field of business. Precisely, the possibility of holding this type of meeting away from the work environment has demonstrated its ability to create a climate that allows different sensations to be expressed, which sometimes allow discovering innate talents that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.

The British Forestry Commission, supported by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, has made public an investigation into the potential of urban forests to replace air conditioning in cities. Their results reveal that areas with a high tree density are up to 4 degrees colder than places in the same city without vegetation.

The beneficial effects of urban forest lungs (walks, gardens, zip lines parks, etc.) were specifically known: they fight the climatic emergency, harbor biodiversity, have the capacity to reduce fires, capture carbon dioxide, host millions of species, They participate in the global food chain, improve air quality, promote good mental health …

However, the Forestry Commission researchers have gone a step further, demonstrating that multiplying urban parks could reduce air conditioning in cities by up to 13%, saving 22 million pounds a year and greatly reducing the footprint of carbon The resulting data is especially relevant considering that the Meteorological Office has recently predicted that the United Kingdom could experience four heat waves of more than 30 degrees in 2050 in the year. Indeed, trees help cool their environment through a process called evapotranspiration , which causes the water produced during breathing to evaporate from the leaves of the trees, cooling the air.

The research has also identified some of the most specific forest species for local concentration in London, such as the London Plane Tree, the Sessile Oak and the Cherry Tree. Experts also recommend placing them in areas where people can walk or sit under their shade, as well as plant additional foliage that protects homes and other buildings from the sun.
