We have been working for some on a major new initiative to help monitor the health of Britain’s trees using a ‘citizen science’ approach.  We are pleased to announce that the initiative, to be known as TreeWatch, will be launched as a pilot in 2010.

Several major partners have been working with us in developing the concept and will help us road test the technology, scientific methods and user interface throughout the 2010 pilot.

A new website is currently in development and will be launched by July, in time to support the first survey work by volunteers across Great Britain.
