Get involved in citizen science this summer

Visible to anyone in the world

Trees 🌳 play vital roles in our urban environment, from removing CO2 and releasing O2 into the air we breathe, to reducing the impacts of surface water (pluvial) flooding 💧. Why not try a bit of citizen science this summer & map some trees in your urban environment 🌍https://www.treezilla.org/treezilla/map/ smile
