All new trees submitted to the tree register are hidden from public view until they have been verified by the administrator.
If you wish to view trees you have submitted to the tree register you can see them all on Your Account. If you would like to send further information regarding any tree you have submitted, you can do this on the information submission form at the top of each tree file.
