City Fruit | Projects: Fruit Tree Map

Fruit trees are an important—but often overlooked—element in the urban forest canopy, and they are typically dispersed through many private and public properties.

The City Fruit mapping project has developed a simple way to map fruit trees from a computer terminal or a mobile device, like a cell phone. Individuals tree owners and other urban residents are urged to map fruit trees, and by doing so, create a grassroots inventory of a so far undocumented urban resource.

The mapping tool was created by Sonja Rogneby and Monica Wynn, graduate students with the University of Washington Information School.
