Ancient Trees in Lisboa

The people who know me know that I’m a person fascinated by trees, by their diversity of species and for the good they do to us, to our city and to our planet!

In Lisboa I started a journey visiting and documenting Ancient Trees on Google Maps that are recognized by ICNF, a public portuguese institute dedicate to Nature, Forests and Wildlife.

All over Lisboa there are Trees that worth a visit, marvelous specimens with a lot’s of history that where here long before us!

I’ve made list on Google Maps were I’ve been adding the trees I visited and the ones I know: https://goo.gl/maps/k7nXXG2QZjN58jXNA

I made another list were I added the trees I’ve been proposing to be classified as Ancient trees: https://goo.gl/maps/SYkSXgnYnb2Y9Zbx6

And I even have a map where I have all the trees that are classified in Portugal!! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XtGWwJMtLrT8FfSRX6y6IewFPpo&usp=sharing

This is one of my hobbies and passions… Trees!!

Hope you like it. If you want to share or want to help me on my journey contact me, I’ll be happy to share this wounderfull hobby… :slight_smile:
