(Water Your Neighbourhood) is a project set up by CITILAB Berlin which consists of an open source map listing all street trees in Berlin. Each tree has information about its species and the amount of water it requires to remain healthy. Community members water trees in their area and upload details about how much they have watered a given tree, creating a live document of tree watering in Berlin, that is publicly accessible. As an open source mapping system, the software can be used in other cities.
The Haringey Tree Protectors keeps a record of trees felled in Haringey. If you know of a tree that has recently been felled in Haringey, please contact us with a photo and details of the location and we can add it to our database. It would also be useful if you know the reason why the tree was felled.
Tree Conservation Areas - Singapore.
In 1991 Singapore established 2 Tree Conservation Areas within the city, to stop indiscriminate felling of trees by individuals and developers. HTP as part of the Canopy partnership, are looking at the possibility of bringing in a similiar system to the UK. Read more about the Singapore system HERE.
