The Arboretum is currently engaged in allowing the public greater access to its mapping of the trees of the Sid Valley:

And one way to do that is by digitally labelling the trees:
TREE LABELS
As part of the Arboretum's remit to inform and engage the public, we are attaching labels to many publicly accessible trees in the valley. Each labels tells you the scientific and common name for the tree, but it also includes a QR code. A QR code is like a super barcode, it contains information about a link to the Arboretum website page for that particular tree. The code can be scanned with a smartphone app with data access and the link is made to the website with information about the particular tree and further links to wider information about the tree species from organisations such as the Woodland Trust, Forestry Commission and Royal Horticultural Society.
The first labels have been attached to trees in the Knowle. We will also be labelling trees in Blackmore Gardens, Sidholme and along the Arboretum's Tree Trails.
