The Great Gnosall Tree Count is a community-powered project to map and record mature and ancient trees across the whole parish.
By crowdsourcing data on species, size, age, and location, we’re building a living archive of natural heritage that supports biodiversity, wildlife corridors, clean air, and climate resilience.
Honouring Our Trees
This isn’t just about counting trees. It’s about honouring them — the quiet giants standing watch over footpaths, hedgerows, fields, and gardens, some for hundreds of years. They’ve seen more seasons than most of us will see Sunday dinners, and yet they’re rarely given more than a passing glance.
Trees Matter
Mature and ancient trees support biodiversity, form wildlife corridors, clean our air, help manage flooding, store carbon, and even cool our streets in summer. They’re the original multi-taskers, doing a hundred things for free, and asking only for space, time, and not to be chopped down for a driveway.
Make a Difference - Join Us
We want to involve as many people as we can to help us in our mission. Volunteers simply use a web-based app to capture trees in their area - even offline. Whether in a hedgerow or a village green, every tree tells a story. This project ensures that story will never be forgotten.
Open up the app on your smartphone and use it to record trees in your area. It’ll even estimate the tree’s age based on species and trunk size. You get to feel like a field scientist; the tree gets recorded to our system. Everyone wins.

We're in the final stages of creating the app so you can explore the GREAT outdoors and start tracking trees.
