Urban ReLeaf Dundee is seeking volunteers to support its public engagement activities throughout Dundee.
Urban ReLeaf is a city-wide citizen-science initiative that engages the community to share their observations and perceptions of greenspaces across Dundee. The goal is to enhance the benefits of these greenspaces and ensure they meet the diverse needs of the community. The collected data will help shape local strategies and policies and will be available for other organisations to use.

People can share their perceptions through three methods:
- Urban ReLeaf Cities App
- Web-based surveys
- Paper surveys at engagement events
Parks and greenspaces are essential for health and wellbeing and will be increasingly important for the city’s resilience to climate change. Urban ReLeaf aims to create a large, citizen-generated dataset on park usage, what helps people benefit more from greenspaces, and incidents of flooding and drought in Dundee.
Data collection began in July 2024 and will continue until summer 2025. To maximize participation, Urban ReLeaf is building a volunteer team to support engagement throughout the year and across all areas of the city.
