Abstract
ABSTRACT Engagement with the natural world is a key aspect to its protection, and so knowing what species the public can identify is important in allocating often limited time and resources. This study examines a data-set of photographic identification that were sent to the Woodland Trust to be identified. The analysis found that deciduous rather than evergreen trees were most frequently queried, with Spring and Autumn the most active seasons for engagement. Individual genus and species were isolated from the data, more variable species appearing to be most often queried. Suggestions on how these data can be utilised are given, as well as its limitations.
期刊介绍：
Forests, Trees and Livelihoods originated in 1979 under the name of the International Tree Crops Journal and adopted its new name in 2001 in order to reflect its emphasis on the diversity of tree based systems within the field of rural development. It is a peer-reviewed international journal publishing comments, reviews, case studies, research methodologies and research findings and articles on policies in this general field in order to promote discussion, debate and the exchange of information and views in the main subject areas of.
