Could you be an ‘autumn spotter’? Public asked to track changing colours of trees in England
Forestry England is asking the public to help track the changing colors of autumn leaves across the country. People can record the most common leaf color they see or look for specific tree species. The goal is to create a record of when and how autumn arrives in different areas.
Forestry England launched a citizen science project where people can track autumn leaf colors in forests. Participants can report the main leaf color they see or focus on specific tree species. The project aims to document how and when autumn changes vary across regions.
The project helps scientists understand how climate and environmental factors affect seasonal changes. It provides data that can inform future studies on tree health and climate patterns.
The initiative encourages public participation in science and connects people with nature. It offers a simple way for individuals to contribute to environmental research and observe seasonal changes.
