Welcome to the Think Trees Tour, an educational initiative promoting the significance of trees in public spaces and fostering environmental stewardship. Through digital StoryMaps, we aim to create a more informed community that feels a deeper connection to its local trees.
A collection of educational digital content featuring a variety of tree species in public spaces has been developed and curated to introduce tree identification to all ages.
