Welcome to Tree-Update 37!

How does Ecosia know if the trees we plant actually survive? In Tree Update 30 we showed you how we gather satellite images and use other technology to see whether the trees you help us plant are still growing. This time, Mélissa shows you how we manually count your trees when we’re on the ground checking on them.
