New · Living Trails

A QR code on a carob tree.

Living Trails puts QR codes on trees in Gibraltar. Scan one and it opens a page for that tree — the species, its story, and the forest it stands in.

It is being built now, alongside this site, so that a person standing in front of a real tree can read about that exact tree — not trees in general.
