Urban Legends

Patrick Barry, the founding member of TreeKIT’s Advisory board, has added an important new map feature — a “legend” in and of itself (pun intended).

At long last, this legend helps explain the following:

  • When zoomed out, the map displays block edges color-coded by tree density.
  • When zoomed in, individual trees become visible. Trees are classified as “Alive,” “Dead,” “Stump,” or “Empty Bed.” “Alive” trees are graded into six size classes by diameter at breast hight.
  • When closely zoomed in, individual treebed rectangles become visible.

Thank you Patrick for this great addition to the map!
