Trees Along Trails is a long-term scientific monitoring project that takes advantage of citizen scientists like you to locate the lowest-elevation and highest-elevation individual trees of each species along walking trails.

Trees Along Trails is a long-term scientific monitoring project that takes advantage of citizen scientists like you to locate the lowest-elevation and highest-elevation individual trees of each species along walking trails. We will use this data to track establishment, growth, and mortality of trees over time.
Under ongoing climate change, current data suggest some species are dying more rapidly at the lower, warmer margin of their elevation ranges, and germinating and surviving more along the cooler upper margin, but more data on more areas and more species is needed!
This project will start with a focus on the Sierra Nevada of California, but with additional curators may be expanded. Let us know if you want to become a curator!
