Discovery &
Nomination

A tree with ecological, cultural, or emotional significance is identified and nominated. We geo-locate it, determine its genus and species and basic physical metrics.

This is the magical part: We bring the tree to digital life and let it interact with humans! People can ask the tree questions and get ecologically relevant answers back.

We build an entire creative and scientific ecosystem around the tree - music, photography, painting, and writing blossom from its environmental signals and cultural story.

Active Green Time

A whole range of outdoor activities, meet-ups, community benefit projects are run, with the tree in the focal point. And that helps us all reconnect with our natural environment.

Sensor Installation

Non-invasive sensors capture subtle changes: sap flow, moisture, microclimate. Biodiversity and pollinator monitors help us understand how the tree is feeling.

Overlap Enriching

"Overlaps" are created — unique digital  containers that hold all kinds of artefacts linked to the tree. These let us all participate in the tree's ecological and creative life.
