Do you live in our study area? Wondering how Trees Count 2014 works?
We began measuring and assessing the health of all public and private trees in Westdale south this week, and we'll continue collecting data throughout the summer until the inventory is complete. Each 'Trees Count crew' consists of one crew leader (a Hamilton Naturalists' Club employee or volunteer) and a group of two or three wonderful community volunteer tree counters.
A few days before we begin the inventory on your street we will deliver a COUNT ME IN postcard. If you are okay with us entering your backyard to count your trees please place the card in a window so that we will be able to see it from the street.
When we arrive at your door we will ALWAYS knock first to let you know that we have arrived to count your trees.
If you are not home and we do not see your COUNT ME IN card, we won't enter your backyard. However, if you have left your card in the window and you don't answer the door, we will carefully let ourselves into your yard, count your trees, and let ourselves back out without leaving a trace!
You can also let us know via the form on the sidebar that you agree to have your trees counted. Please include your street number and address in the message section!
