One Tree at a Time: Mapping the Wild Around Us

Trees are more than just part of the landscape — they’re living infrastructure, climate regulators, and biodiversity powerhouses. In this episode, we speak with Abby Seneor, founder of vegetation intelligence platform Treelyon, and explore how new mapping technologies are transforming the way we understand trees. By tracking their lifecycles, health, and growth patterns, we are gaining powerful insights into how trees cool our neighbourhoods, clean our air, and support wildlife. From dense urban streets to vast forests, mapping trees tree-by-tree is revealing the critical role they play in sustaining ecosystems — and why understanding them better may be key to protecting the natural world around us.
