Join the Urban Tree Survey
The Natural History Museum are running an online urban tree survey and they would like your help.
Although we know a lot about Britain's rural tree population, relatively little is known about the trees in urban areas. We're being invited to record particularly what's in our private gardens and local streets and parks of urban Britain, so scientists and botanists can build a picture of what trees are growing where, and also find out how the urban tree population is changing.
The survey focuses on 80 different types of tree normally associated with an urban environment.
It is reckoned that one of our most widespread trees is the sycamore, and in urban areas, the closely related norway maple may be as common or more so. These species were introduced to the UK. But we don't have actual numbers for the most common trees, only data on which are most widespread.
The Urban tree survey will run for 3 years and the recent Cherry tree survey posted about here which was launched this spring is part of it.
All the resources and information you need can be found on the urban tree survey website
