Urban Tree Detective

The Urban Tree Detective app is a mobile tool that enables users to identify urban trees and contribute reports on tree health and condition. The aim of this mobile tool is to harness the power of citizen science to enable researchers to map and monitor urban tree health and explore tree failures in urban environments. The Urban Tree Detective app seeks to advance our understanding of urban tree successes and failures by identifying the types of trees and locations more likely to fail in our rapidly changing climate. The Urban Tree Detective app will provide valuable information to assist urban managers in better species selection to secure the persistence and survival of urban forests by linking citizens, scientists, and governments.
