🌳 Rooted Together led another great tree inventory training over the weekend!

Participants learned how to accurately identify, measure, and enter trees in the Newport News Tree Inventory app! 📲✅

Identifying and mapping trees in Newport News will help us better understand our tree canopy, where trees should be planted, and how to strategize caring for current trees. 🗺️🌿

Thank you to all who came out to be a part of this citizen science project! 💚🙌

🐾 You’re not the only one using green spaces in Newport News!

Deer, raccoons, foxes, oh my!

Check the tracks! 🌳🦌 Urban green spaces aren’t just a breath of fresh air for people, they’re critical habitat for the wildlife living alongside us!

When it comes to wildlife, green spaces help to:

🌱 Support biodiversity
🏠 Provide shelter, food, and water
🏙️ Offer a needed refuge in landscapes built for people

Protecting green spaces means preserving living ecosystems for our animal neighbors too! 🌿🦊

What animals do you think left these tracks? Guess below! 👇

We thought volunteering at green space cleanups would be a hobby. 🗑️
 
Then we accidentally became the people who point out litter everywhere we go. 😅
 
But somewhere between the fresh air, great people, and seeing the impact firsthand, it became more than just a way to spend a Saturday morning. 💚🌱
