URBAN FOREST

This map is a map of trees. Each green circle indicates 1 municipally owned tree in Lethbridge AB, as of roughly 2010. There are no other markings on the map other than labels and the city border.


I think it’s interesting how apparent the structure of the city is through the lens of it’s plant life.

I wish I could remember how many trees are here, but I think it’s a few tens of thousands. I DO remember that loading the final vector file on the computer I made this one was nearly impossible. I had to use one of the dedicated 3D rendering machines at the University to generate the final image.


Note: this does not include any privately owned trees.
