Resumo

This paper describes an i-Tree Eco tree survey successfully undertaken to support the community's interest in its trees in Petersfield, Hampshire, UK using "citizen science" volunteers. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using a community approach, particularly with regards to use of volunteers, project management, cost and data quality. The paper makes recommendations for future i-Tree Eco surveys using citizen scientists. It identifies complementary data acquisition to support the needs of communities to understand their trees and the benefits they receive from them.
