TreE Treks - Community Engagement

A Tree Trek is a self-guided tour along a path that leads visitors through a park to see different tree species.  At each tree in the Tree Trek, a sign with information regarding the specific tree species is installed. Information can vary, but often includes:
  • A tree’s common name as well as its scientific name 
  • Size of the tree at maturity
  • Common traits the species exhibits
  • Some common problems associated with the species
  • Interesting uses and facts about the tree
Along with the information on the card there is also a QR Code image that links to a species webpage for  more information. Using any smart phone or tablet with a QR Code App allows users to quickly navigate to the species website. 

Tree Treks were created as a way to engage people with trees in the parks they frequent. Signs provide useful information while offering a new park activity. Hopefully this will also encourage new people to enjoy their city parks.
