And at this time of the year you cannot fail to spot them with their beautiful blossoms. Like me you can take part in the urban cherry survey which is planned to run for 3 years and is organised by the <a href="http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/british-natural-history/tree-survey/index.html" >National History Museum</a>. The aim of this survey is to find out more about the changes to the urban landscape. The <a title="cherry tree survey" href="http://gardenersvoice.com/category/cherry-tree-survey/">cherry tree survey</a> is anonymous and can help the National History Museum and other research organisations gain useful information about the biodiversity of the wildlife in urban areas where the trees are growing. And since the United Nations has declared 2010 the International Year of Biodiversity this initiative is a good opportunity for the public to be involved at a local level. <div id="attachment_2157" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 330px"><img src="http://www.mygardendiary.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Cherry_Tree_survey-300x205.jpg" alt="Cherry Tree Survey" title="Cherry_Tree_survey" width="300" height="205" class="size-medium wp-image-2157" /> <p class="wp-caption-text">Cherry Tree Survey</p> </div> <p>Taking part in the survey is easy and only takes a few seconds. You just need to enter the postcode of the area where you have spotted the cherry tree and give a few details about the type of cherry tree which you have identified. There are some guidelines on the website for people who are not sure about types of cherry tree. My cherry tree is a fruit tree from a Morello variety which I planted in my garden 5 years ago, and it looks magnificent at present (as you can see in the header of this website). But I need to remember to put a net on top of my tree to prevent the birds from eating all the fruits later in the year. Some birds like the black bird or thrush do manage to get in the net anyway but all is not lost. </p> <p>By taking part in this survey you will contribute to developing a greater understanding of how changes in the climate may affect where and how trees grow as part of the overall biodiversity picture. </p> <div style="display: none">VN:F [1.6.3_896]</div><div class="ratingblock"><div class="ratingblock "><div class="ratingheader ">Rate this Article</div><div class="ratingstars "><div id="article_rater_38327" class="ratepost gdsr-soft gdsr-size-24"><div class="starsbar gdsr-size-24"><div class="gdouter gdheight"><div id="gdr_vote_a38327" style="width: 0px;" class="gdinner gdheight"></div><div id="gdr_stars_a38327" class="gdsr_rating_as"><a id="gdsrX38327X5X0XaXarticle_rater_38327Xarticle_loader_38327X10X24" title="5 / 5" class="s5" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX38327X4X0XaXarticle_rater_38327Xarticle_loader_38327X10X24" title="4 / 5" class="s4" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX38327X3X0XaXarticle_rater_38327Xarticle_loader_38327X10X24" title="3 / 5" class="s3" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX38327X2X0XaXarticle_rater_38327Xarticle_loader_38327X10X24" title="2 / 5" class="s2" rel="nofollow"></a><a id="gdsrX38327X1X0XaXarticle_rater_38327Xarticle_loader_38327X10X24" title="1 / 5" class="s1" rel="nofollow"></a></div></div></div></div><div id="article_loader_38327" style="display: none; width: 120px; " class="ratingloader article"><div class="loader flower " style="height: 24px"><div class="loaderinner" style="padding-top: 2px">please wait...</div></div></div></div><div class="ratingtext "><div id="gdr_text_a38327">Rating: 0.0/<strong>5</strong> (0 votes cast)</div></div></div></div>
