Tree Board previews public ArcGIS tree map; QR codes and state champion trees to be included
Summary
Prairie Village staff demonstrated progress populating an ArcGIS tree map using Lucity and Public Works work orders; publication is planned for this summer and QR codes on signage will link to the online database, which will include state champion trees.
Bridget Tolle reported that data from Lucity and Public Works work orders have been used to successfully populate the city's ArcGIS tree map, which staff demonstrated for the board. The board discussed how the map was populated, potential public uses and plans to publish the map on the city website this summer; QR codes on new tree signage will link back to the database.
Board members noted the map will include state champion trees and discussed signage models (Mark Morgan referenced examples at the Linda Hall Library/UMKC Arboretum). Staff and board agreed signage placement should prioritize visibility and public viewing. Bridget said the new data-driven map is intended to support public engagement with Prairie Village's urban forest.
