Maples, Oaks, and More: The NYC Tree Map as a Stewardship Tool
Do you look up as you walk through our city, curious about the trees? Join us for an interactive session hosted by Partnerships Academy exploring the NYC Tree Map, a free online tool developed by NYC Parks. We’ll hear from the deputy director of Digital Media at NYC Parks, Tom Hughes, about how the NYC Tree Map was designed and developed. You’ll then have time to use desktop computers to explore the NYC Tree Map and become familiar with navigating its features. We’ll conclude by hearing from members of the Jackson Heights Beautification Group Tree LC Crew about how they utilize this tool to organize and record their tree stewardship efforts.
This workshop is part of NYC Open Data Week, an annual festival of community-driven events organized to celebrate open public data. You can learn more here.
