Urban Ecos led the development of the first tree map: the San Francisco Urban Forest Map. The source code from that project became the foundation of the ongoing open-source OpenTreeMap project. In addition to San Francisco, Urban Ecos served as project lead for GreenprintMaps, the San Diego Tree Map, and TreeMapLA. Our work includes:

• Management of the software development team for the website and smart phone apps
• Incorporation of i-Tree data to provide ecosystem services benefits
• Development of the local species lists and data fields
• Collaboration with municipalities to gather inventories and translate them into the proper format
• Technical assistance to Map users
• Development of curriculum materials for schools
