thank you sanborn maps

Seen around. Amazing how often Maintainers are hidden and uniformed as other.

happy birthday Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple (1982) “In nature, nothing is perfect, and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they’re still beautiful.” 🖤🖤🖤💚💚💚

Great looking treemap!

This is interesting— have u heard of the “3-30-300 rule?” 3: Everyone should be able to see at least 3 trees from home 30: Cities should ensure a 30% tree canopy in all neighbourhoods 300: Everyone should have a park within 300 metres of home Via IUCN iucnurbanalliance.org/promoting-heal…

In the last week I've started to receive inquiries from people running tree planting programs wanting my help. I am suggesting that they shut down their programs. Here I will explain why:

can datasets have bdays? 7 yrs ago on #ArborDay, together with TreeKIT za University of Vermont's SAL, NYC Parks launched the 2015 street tree census, a citizen mapping project with 2,200+ volun-treers and 60+ community groups.

i am so grateful for the amazing crew that came together to make this vision possible lilbit @LearnKnowAct Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne Deb Boyer Robert Cheetham and so many more! miss y'all and that crazy ride we had heading up to launch day 🙃. Happy Arbor Day!

🪩Happy Birthday to all the TreeKIT'ns 💚

This neighborhood in Bologna, Italy grew a dense urban forest using one weird trick — traffic engineers hate them

Great reporting from L.A., where city officials say they spend about $1,850 to procure and plant a single street tree — half of what it costs in NYC. Then they spend another $2,500 for their crews to allegedly hand water that tree for the next five years citywatchla.com/index.php/neig…

#Brooklyn! @V6A_coLab and Evan Abramson are looking for people who have tree pits or sidewalk strips in front of their rentals or property that they would like to re-wild for increasing biodiversity and stormwater control. If this is you, form info → ayq5slpuj0t.typeform.com/to/Itpmney1

The inventory is looking good!

OpenStreetMap has nearly 21 million individual trees mapped all throughout the world, but that data is highly localized and unevenly mapped. I was curious to see which countries have mapped more trees than we might expect, so decided to try comparing trees to area.

Did we just get a shout out from Randall Munroe???? #FinallyAMapOfEveryTree
