Urban tree survey
Take part in the Natural History Museum's Urban Tree Survey so they can build a picture of what trees are growing where and find out how the tree population is changing.
Trees are a beautiful and essential part of the urban landscape. They help to clean the air and soil, counter noise pollution and absorb carbon, among their other benefits. But climate change and our expanding towns and cities are affecting the trees we live amongst.
The urban tree survey will run for three years. The Natural History Museum needs you to take part because you have access to the neighbourhoods and gardens they’re interested in. You can start surveying trees now. Click here to find everything you need to take part in the survey including full instructions, a survey form, interactive tools and identification keys.
