This project aims to:

1) Study peoples’ values and feelings towards urban street trees in Plymouth.

2) Evaluate if values and feelings vary among neighbourhoods with different socio-economic demographics.

We posted signs on trees around Plymouth that connect people to a survey that helps participants have a conversation with that tree.
