Hello there, I’m part of a group based in Hackney called the Tree Musketeers. We do a variety of tree-related things around the borough & beyond, one of which being annual planting of young trees in a selection of parks. We’re planning this year’s planting at the moment, & we’re thinking of mapping these new trees on OSM, for our own use & also as a tester for potentially mapping notable trees throughout the borough in the future (publicly-available tree data is currently very sparse/outdated for Hackney).
I’m writing here to put out feelers for any related projects/groups: are there any mapping-enthusiast tree folk out there? Or tree-enthusiast mappers? At present we have arborists (tree experts) with identification skills & a group of keen local volunteers (tree fans) with local knowledge & access, but everyone is quite new to mapping & OSM. Any info or contacts would be greatly welcomed! Best, Helen p.s. We should be featured on Countryfile on BBC1 on 29 Nov, if you’d like to learn more about the group!
