Long Beach Tree Map: Creating a tree map to grow and care for urban forests

The Long Beach Tree Map shows trees throughout the Long Beach region which centralizes, organizes, and visualizes information regarding where and how many trees as well as their type.

The City of Long Beach recognized the need to enhance its urban tree canopy and sought to involve residents in this initiative.

By creating Long Beach Tree Map, the city 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.
