Arborary
An urban tree mapping platform that aggregates public tree data from city sources, with a data explorer and a new landing page being worked on for SEO. Current work focuses on data quality: vetting municipal sources and leveraging aerial photography to drive QA on tree records.
What it addresses
City tree datasets have quality issues: duplicates with slight offsets (e.g., Cambridge, MA merging in Harvard's trees), trees plotted in the middle of roads, and locations at address level instead of tree level.

“Continued on my urban tree mapping kick from the last few months - it's continued to be a good way to stress test other projects of mine [3]. I've given it a new shiny landing page [1] so I can work on SEO a bit, I'll need to do a facelift on the data explorer to bring it in line stylistically.”
