This new community project assesses the ecological impacts of trees by creating a colorful, interactive Google-based map linking critical environmental values to the trees growing in our local urban areas. It provides a way for municipalities, businesses, schools and individuals to enter new data into the map to calculate the return on investment their trees provide, from conserving water and cleaning the air to saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Learn how you can use the San Diego County Tree Map to understand the benefits of your trees and how you can be a part of the effort by measuring and recording trees in your yard and neighborhood. Tree inventories for street trees in 12 cities have already been entered, but anyone can enter data into this map within the county’s geographical boundaries.
