Features:
• All NYC street trees across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island
• Tap any tree to see species, size, health, and stewardship info
• Name a tree — visible to the whole city
• Report trees that have been removed or are in distress
• Map centers on your current location automatically
Tree data provided by NYC Parks & Recreation via the NYC Open Data TreesCount! 2015 census.
