About
It’s a game-like app where anyone can learn about the trees in their city, help keep them healthy, and work with scientists to find and report pests.
Impact
Anyone will be able to help care for trees by reporting problems they see in the streets. People will learn about pests and how they affect urban forests. With education, web3, and citizen science, we can protect tree diversity and improve city ecosy
Progress
We already have the full app architecture, a functional demo, a group of expert academic validators, a botanical garden joining the launch, and initial sampling of infection hotspots. We have also defined our milestones.
Team
I’ve spent three years promoting open knowledge in DeSci. I’m a biologist who is passionate about bringing science closer to people and protecting the biodiversity of public spaces that provide essential ecosystem services. That’s why I want to build

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
