About TreeSeek
Often when I'm walking, I see a tree I like. I can't always identify species by sight, but I'm usually curious what I'm looking at. This web application was built to help with that.
The tree data comes from city open data sites. Right now TreeSeek includes data for:
- Toronto
- Ottawa
- Montreal
- Calgary
- Waterloo
- Boston
- Markham
- Oakville
- Peterborough
- Mississauga
- San Francisco
- Madison, Wisconsin
because those are some of the cities I have found myself in wandering and wondering about trees.
