Description
Conker Tree Science: Leaf Watch. Help the Universities of Bristol and Hull track the spread of the horse-chestnut leaf miner moth with this simple, intuitive app.
What is happening to Britain’s horse-chestnut trees? Since 2002 Britain’s conker trees have been under attack from a non-native moth – and you can help scientists at the Universities of Bristol and Hull monitor what’s happening. The Conker Tree Science: Leaf Watch app shows you how to identify affected trees and enables you to submit your geo-located leaf photos. This data will show our scientists where the moth is present within the UK today. Your reports will contribute to the Conker Tree Science research project.

Citizen Science!
Great app. I love the idea of 'citizen science'.
One reviewer suggested that you can't submit more than one photo a month. That's not the case at all. The instructions say "You are welcome to submit as many records as you like throughout summer, but please only create 1 record per tree per month."
Such a good idea!
Now some of the random photos I take on my phone can be put to good use.
Chestnut trees
I wondered why the chestnuts trees where going brown this time off year now I know. Good app for people who are interested
