Become a Citizen Scientist
Amazing things are happening in urban nature that get missed. By people taking part in citizen science, you will help support initiatives. Initiatives such as advocating for biodiversity or protecting existing green spaces.
The app iNaturalist is a great example of citizen science and how everyone can contribute to research. Already, iNaturalist users are helping with early detection of invasive species, and new species have even been discovered through the app!
So join in and help to make these interesting discoveries. Find out more at Urban Tree Watch.
Trees helping build resilience
With 80% of the population living in towns or cities, many people now breathe dirty air, are at risk of flooding and are struggling with rising temperatures worsened by the urban heat island effect. Without urban trees, our physical and mental health are all affected, and our connection with nature becomes lost.
By planting thousands of urban trees each year in the UK and around the world, Trees for Cities is building resilience within urban communities against threats facing the natural environment. They plant a range of tree species that enhance structural and functional diversity in woodlands and city streets, creating greener, happier and healthier places to live.
Become a tree watering champion
Newly planted street trees need lots of water during summer months so Trees for Cities are also looking for tree watering champions. It’s not an easy life living in a pavement, but your help can make all the difference. So show a local tree a little TLC, by joining Ealing’s Tree Watering Champions initiative.
