Abstract
The goal of this project was to help the Nantucket Land Council enhance urban tree appreciation and maintenance records in downtown Nantucket. To do this, we established a tree inventory system that utilized GIS location-tracking technology and data collection procedures and created a mobile website prototype designed for public education on downtown trees. The inventory system led to several project deliverables, including a spreadsheet of tree data, a map displaying the GIS locations of each tree, and instruction manuals describing the inventory process. The mobile website prototype, “ACKnowledge the Trees,” had both a tree scavenger hunt and an interactive tree tour mode. Recommendations were made for both the inventory system and mobile website for future project improvements.
