Title: i-Tree Update 2023
Time: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Description:
Join me for 45 minutes and I will show you the latest goings-on with i-Tree. This will be a quick overview of what’s what and where we are going next with it all. Over the past two years, we’ve updated our website, built a new user interface for i-Tree Canopy – our DIY canopy assessment tool, and added ease-of-use updates to i-Tree Planting so you can forecast tree benefits for your tree planting projects. Learn about using MyTree and the new MyTreeMap as a free, community-accessible tree planting tracking tool – with tree benefits as well. We’ll do a quick run through of our newest community canopy tool, OurTrees as well. www.itreetools.org
