Description

The Canopy Resilience Project is an effort at UWA to document and characterise how the urban tree canopy in Perth responded to the extraordinary hot and dry summer conditions in 2024. With a considerable citizen science component, we conducted extensive media outreach to mobilise contributors and promote our message.
