They have data for a tree in my garden. I got the tree cut down and there was so much bureaucracy to go through just to cut it, I guess it is a protected piece of nature or something of the sort?

I like how they protect their trees in the United Kingdom. This approach to environmental preservation should be adopted globally.

In Berlin there is "Gieß den Kiez"[1] (water your block). It not only shows you the species and age for every tree on public property, you can also adopt trees and be responsible for watering them.

> Gieß den Kiez is a participatory platform where you can inform yourself about the trees in your neighbourhood and their water needs. You can explore individual trees in Berlin and find out about the proper watering of trees. If you want to water the same trees regularly, you should create an account, adopt the trees and show that they are taken care of. This way, coordination takes place in the neighbourhood.

Very interesting! It says the one right in front of my building is a Locust tree and is very rare in London:

> Rare species. This is one of TreeTalk's Bronze trees. There are no more than 200 of them in streets around London.

it's a scam to inflate property values.

The chances are that if there's a large tree in a garden then it was planted when the house was built and covered by a TPO from the council.
