Last month, we were excited to see the OpenTreeMap software implemented in a new city with the launch of San Diego County Tree Map. Sponsored by the California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE), the San Diego County Tree Map is a great collaboration of non-profit organizations, businesses, local governments, and public citizens that takes on the challenge of mapping trees throughout San Diego County.
They are off to a truly excellent start with tree inventories contributed by the cities of Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, Oceanside, Poway, San Diego, Santee, Solana Beach and Vista as well as Point Loma Nazarene University. Public contributors can expand on the initial map by adding trees, editing tree info, and uploading tree images. The project’s goal is “to provide a one-stop repository for tree data, welcoming information from any agency or group and enabling and celebrating citizen participation.”
The San Diego County Tree Map provides another example of how the OpenTreeMap software can assist organizations and governments in working together and with the public to collaboratively map and inventory the urban forest. For more info about the project, visit the Tree Map or check out this article in The San Diego Union-Tribune.
San Diego is just one of several cities that are experimenting with OpenTreeMap. At a recent Code Across America event hosted in New Orleans, one team worked on creating an OpenTreeMap implementation for New Orleans. We’ve heard of several other groups working on the software, and OpenTreeMap continues to grow as an open source project.
