Once found, participants can scan the QR code on the tag to open an online survey where they will be asked to enter information about the tree and register an email address for the chance to win prizes. In addition to the QR code, each tag will have information about the specific tree including its common name, scientific name, and environmental impact. TreeQuest encourages residents to get outside and enjoy local parks while learning about tree species native to Florida and their benefits.
