The website has six overview pages, which are identified on the top row
of each overview page, including this about page.
The gallery and the list give the names of all species
in the website.
The campus map and Google map show the locations and photos
and identify the species of individual trees.
The today page contains photos of a single tree,
chosen randomly on each day, with links relating to its species.
You can get to any overview page by selecting it from the top row
of another overview page.

From most pages of the website, you can return to the
gallery with , the

In the gallery and the list, the name of each species is a link to
pages of photos for that species, including photos of
individual trees, their locations, and close-up photos of
bark, leaves, etc.
There are three views of each species: in columns, in rows, and
on a map.
|
Columns
| The column view of a
species has photos for individual trees on the left
of the screen (in columns showing one photo in each season
for deciduous trees), photos of bark in
the central column, and other close-ups on the right of the screen.
|
Rows
| In the row view,
all the photos of each individual tree are shown in a
row (many trees have more than one photo per season), with the
close-ups in rows after the tree rows.
|
Map
| The species map locates trees of the species on the campus.
(Of course, in many species only a selection of
trees are included in the website, not all of them.)
Clicking on a tree's location brings up photos of it.
|
| On species column view and row view pages,
step forwards to the next screenful and backwards
to the previous screenful. A screenful is up to four rows of small photos.
On species map pages, select the next tree and the previous tree.
You can select any of the trees by clicking on its marker.
|
| On species pages, step forwards to the next species and backwards
to the previous species.
|
| On photo pages,
step forwards to the next photo and backwards to the previous photo.
|
.
| Return to the species page from a photo page.
|
The gallery, list, campus map and species pages each have a row of options
near the top, which give different selections and arrangements of contents.
|
On the species and photo pages, there are links to other websites with
information about the species,
where available, indicated by the following icons.
|
| All species have links to
Wikipedia
(in some cases to the genus rather than the species).
|
| Most species have entries in
Plants of the World
Online, curated by Kew Gardens.
|
| Most species have articles in
Trees and Shrubs
Online, the
International Dendrology Society's encyclopaedia of woody plants
hardy in the temperate parts of the world.
|
| Species native to Britain or commonly planted here have links
to The Woodland Trust
A-Z of British Trees.
