Ancient Roots Alberta
Ancient Roots Alberta is a publicly accessible platform created by ALES student Josh Kirsch to document and research significant trees across Alberta. It collects stories and scientific data, including GPS locations, measurements, species comparisons, photographs and terrain information. Through the tree submission form, members of the public are encouraged to submit trees for review and verification into the database, which is designed to educate the public about why Alberta’s trees matter. It also provides community groups, forestry organizations and other industries with accessible data about Alberta’s remarkable trees.
