How does a TTree work?
A Talking Tree is a tree equipped with sensor technology. This sensor technology makes it possible to observe in real time and with high accuracy the response of trees to environmental parameters, to gain an impression of their vitality or to quantify their ecosystem services. With a Talking Tree from UGT, we offer an all-round carefree package where we take care of everything from installation to data handling and visualization.

Where are there already Talking Trees?
Talking Trees already exist. They are spread all over Germany, e.g. in Eberswalde, Augsburg, Berchtesgaden, Eichstätt and in the Botanical Garden in Munich. We at Umwelt-Geräte-Technik GmbH have made a beech tree tweet at the Britz experimental site in Eberswalde and in the botanical garden of the University of Ulm. These and 20 other trees at seven locations are in turn part of the Europe-wide Treewatch network (https://treewatch.net/), which is coordinated by Ghent University.
