Helping residents grow and care for trees with a community tree map
This case study explores how the City of Akron developed a community tree map to engage residents in urban forestry efforts, enabling them to identify, grow, and care for trees in their neighborhoods.
The City of Akron recognized the need to enhance its urban tree canopy and sought to involve residents in this initiative.
By creating a community tree map, Akron provided a digital platform where residents can locate existing trees, learn about different species, and receive guidance on planting and maintenance. This interactive tool fosters community engagement, promotes environmental stewardship, and aims to improve the city’s overall green infrastructure.
