May 23 (10 am pickup available); May 25 (return collection packets by 6 pm)
Online training (30 mins.) and sign-up must be done at Matteo Garbelotto Lab before collecting the sampling materials at the SOD Blitz Stations (starting May 23 at 10 am). Please sign up before you start the survey, and preferably when you take the online training.
Once at the SOD Blitz Station you can pick up one or two collection packets. Each packet allows you to sample 10 trees.
If you have downloaded the free App “SODmap Mobile” before you start the survey you can determine the exact location of the trees you sample, otherwise use any application such as “Compass” on iPhone. You can also view trees previously sampled on the SOD map online
You can sample private properties with the owner’s permission, alongside public roads and in parks or open spaces that are open to the public.
