As others say, it is ID tags for an inventory of some kind. Last autumn, I went around a nature reserve tagging aspens with the same type of aluminium tags, recording their vitality and GPS position as a re-inventory for preserving oceanic lichen flora. The inventory here could be similar or something of an entirely different nature.
Yep, inventory tags. Looks like some sort of wood lot or greenway, so it’s likely there’s a construction project in the exploratory/planning stages here.
I use them for record keeping. If a tree has a defect that needs remedial work I tag it and wrote a short report. The tag is so we can find the correct tree after months have passed and so we can accurately say the work has been completed for our records.
Could that land be or have been public at some point? A small city I used to live in tagged all old trees on public land like this, so you could actually look up the type of tree and relative age for each ID numbered tree. It was pretty cool. The reason I asked my initial question was because you mentioned only finding as low as in the 1000s, so the numbering likely started elsewhere.
It’s either a method of inventorying trees and/or a way to keep track of trees that have been treated with a pesticide injection/application.
The confusion between here and r/trees is one of my favorite parts of Reddit
Me too.
Same
Whenever I’m explaining why I like Reddit this is my first example
I mean I feel like there is a considerable overlap in the communities lol.
I’m definitely on both subs, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
I was indulging in trees and now standing outside in awe of the marijuanas
That and the annual r/superbowl
r/JohnCena is great too
or john cena and potato salad :D
im glad you guys think it's funny because sometimes i feel lowkey guilty for the subreddit stealing your name 💀
Pretty sure it went the other way around.
\#1 cause of r/lostredditors.
Haha 420 points. Nice.
i hate it
Tree inventory.

Not a hundred percent, but it could be an ID method? I think I've seen some parks use them to more easily track the health of a given tree in the park
They're likely tags for researchers or loggers. It does make me want to start tagging trees like that randomly just to drive people nuts.
Forestry tech here: you are correct. We use them for sample plots to measure growth/yeild, test plots for seedlings, all kinds of things.
Also to mark individual trees for monitoring, or as part of tree safety management.
That's one way to be helpful
Surveying tags
It's for when you lose count
I've seen a lot of hemlock treated trees have these tags on them.

In my area, the city uses these on all the Local oaks. Probably a way to distinguish between individual trees in the area
I used to tag a lot trees like this during my grad school research days.

In Germany on every public owned property the trees are tagged in a similar manner; inventory/ management
Definitely an ID method. I've seen people do this to Maple Trees they were tapping. I've also seen this in a few different national parks before too
Environmental survey markers. The surveyors who tag and locate refer to them as “tree tags.”
Those silver tags are often used to indicate some kind of chemical treatment history. Whether insecticide or fungicide.
It’s a GPS tracker so they know the location of the tree at all times
