TREE EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION THROUGH CITIZEN SCIENCE

About MyTree

MyTree is a tree registry for documenting tree species in Hong Kong country parks and countryside. Using citizen science methodologies, it aims to encourage the public to learn about trees, forests, ecosystem services and their relationship with the environment. Through advancing knowledge of trees and their importance, it also aims to encourage the public to take ownership of caring and protecting our trees.

Objectives of MyTree

1. Establish and enrich the local tree registry through crowdsourcing
2. Public engagement through citizen science and education
3. Supporting academic research on carbon storage estimation, valuation of ecosystem services and forest strategy of Hong Kong country parks
