Urban Forest 2.0
The urban forest is going digital. Thanks to volunteers with laptops and handheld devices, San Francisco is creating an online map of every street tree in the city, getting a leg up on keeping the urban landscape healthy and growing.

This idea is very cool. I can see this being used by parks, school districts, corporations – any organization that needs to keep track of trees or other large plants.
Has the tree-mapping site already launched, or is it still under maintenance? None of the links I've found seem to work. I suspect the tree outside my building is a lemon bottlebrush, but I don't know for sure. Can't wait till it's up and running.
