Treezilla: The Monster Map of Trees. A citizen science project from @OpenScienceLab, OU in partnership with @Forest_Research @Treeconomics. New apps soon!
We discuss the broader social and cultural values of urban trees and demonstrate how to use https://t.co/QIjli9vIjR to engage communities in mapping and monitoring urban forests. @Treezilla_org@cityoflondon

Great to see temperate rainforests mentioned on tonight's #WildIsles!🌲
These habitats are extremely important and are home to a huge diversity of species, including lichens.
Can you spot who's hiding amongst the lichen on this twig?👀
#WildIsles continues tonight - Sir David Attenborough follows our woodlands throughout the year, showcasing their astonishing variety and unearthing incredible stories hidden amongst the trees. We also get to meet this little fella too! 🐿️

Catching up on tweets and great to see what the @LP_Academy Future Leaders have been doing! looking forward to hearing further what contribution this can make.
@LP_Academy are rightly proud of their Future Leaders! The "Treezilla" project involved gathering data from a tree in the school grounds & sharing data on its "ecoservices" - benefits to the environment & humans - with @OpenUniversity & @Treezilla_org. 👏

Passcode: Trees21!
But we know that people value urban trees for many other reasons, so we're part of the @BranchingOut21 project understanding a diversity of these values. Look for developments in assessing social and cultural values of trees through the site and app in the next couple of years.
We're featured on tonight's @BBCCountryfile with Treezilla's Dr Phil Wheeler @Om_Phil introducing a community group in Bradford to mapping trees and understanding their ecosystem services.
A @BBCCountryfile Plant Britain autumn special airs tomorrow and takes a fascinating look at how trees and hedgerows help in combatting #climatechange.
There’s also a guest appearance from The OU's Dr Philip Wheeler, Senior Lecturer in Ecology.

There's a demo of how trees can reduce flood risk which has been a particular issue in that part of Bradford. The treezilla app can calculate estimates of this and other 'regulating' ecosystem services.
