Since this is a collaborative project, we could use some collaboration! We’re looking for a short and sweet motto to feature on our home page in bold letters.
Here’s the basic mission of the project:
The Urban Forest Map is a collaborative project among city agencies, tree advocacy groups, and you -- the citizen foresters and nature lovers of San Francisco -- to build an inventory of San Francisco’s urban forest one tree at a time. Just log in online, click the map, and add the trees near you! For each tree added, we’ll calculate the environmental benefits its providing -- how many pounds of air pollutants it’s capturing, how much energy it’s helping conserve, how many gallons of stormwater it’s filtering, and how much carbon dioxide it’s removing from the atmosphere. As we build an inventory together, the information will help planners, city arborists, ecologists, tree advocates, and residents protect and grow the urban forest.
Here are a few thoughts for a motto that we had to help get the ball rolling:
- Tree by tree
- What trees are your neighbors?
- One tree at a time
- Turning gray into green!
- Map your urban forest!
So what do you think? Add your motto in the comments here, or on our Facebook Page, and we’ll take it into consideration! Thanks!
