What is Every Tree Tells a Story?
We are a collective project, founded in Glasgow, gathering and sharing stories about trees in word, song, image, video and more. Actor Tam Dean Burn inspired the project. Other partners include Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde University.
The city is the leading steward of our trees. Our educators have custodianship of Glasgow’s learners. Our artists make meaning of and for the city. But all of us have a story to tell and a role to play in helping trees to help Glasgow.
The project is simple, using community participation to map trees, and record their stories around Glasgow. We hope sharing Glasgow’s tree stories can shape better rooted classes, places, policies, and plantings.

A ‘Hello’ from Becca, our digital support and Enterprise Fellow at the University of Strathclyde.
What tree are you most like?
I would say a Birch Tree, as I personify them as friendly, quick to laugh, and very social.
