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.
