Have you ever wondered why all the trees in your review forest show the same age? An enthusiastic tree planter asked us this question. And lacking a good answer, our design and development team immediately got to work creating a "more realistic" display of tree ages.

Even though the living trees on site are naturally planted as small saplings, the trees in your review forest previously showed the same age - namely, adult age.
If you liked exactly this display, you can still set it for your forest!

If you're as excited about some variety as we are, your forest will now display different tree ages.

We Distinguish 6 Different Ages and Count from Planting/Review Date

As soon as we capture a new review from you, your review forest displays another tree. With the new display, a small sapling is initially shown and over time the tree "grows". You can see the individual ages and display forms in the illustration.



Since the update, the trees are displayed in your review forest according to their age.
If you want to reverse this change and only display the adult ages of your trees, then simply follow the steps described below.

How to Turn Tree Age Display On or Off

First log into your ReviewForest member area and go to "Review forests": https://app.reviewforest.org/review-forests
Click on the "Manage" button
... and select the "Manage display settings" option




Scroll down to "Show tree age" and deselect it by clicking on the symbol. The symbol will be displayed in gray and the trees in your review forest will be displayed exclusively as fully grown trees.
Save your selection via "Save changes"
