Jockey Club Tree Lovers – Citizen Science – Quantifying Urban Forest Benefits in SSP

We often hear about the many benefits of trees — but have you ever wondered, how much can one single tree actually do for the environment?

The programme invites plant enthusiasts and curious minds to join the Deep Forest Survey Team, becoming citizen scientists for a day. Together, participants explored the Sham Shui Po district, conducting tree surveys to analyse and quantify the environmental value and impact of urban trees.

By taking part, community members not only learned about the science behind trees, but also discovered how every tree contributes to a greener, more liveable city.
