TreeKeeper is a new interactive website from the Prospect Park Alliance that details and maps over 12,000 of the park's 30,000+ trees. Made possible with an Urban Forestry Grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the site allows you to see the impact any given tree has on the environment in categories like greenhouse gas benefits, air quality benefits, water benefits, energy benefits, and property benefits.
Prospect Park Alliance recently surveyed nearly half of the park's 30,000 trees, through a a $75,000 Urban Forestry Grant from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Using the TreeKeeper Interactive Map, you can identify all of the mapped trees in Prospect Park. These currently number over 12,000, with interior woodland areas of the park still to come.
Check out the full map to play around with the data.
