Want to know what kind of trees are in your neighborhood? This map may be able to help

The UIUC subreddit has unearthed another fascinating gem today in the form of Falling Fruit, a website that tracks various trees and plants all across the United States.

If you don’t have a forester on-hand, this map includes accurate catalogs of all types of trees all across C-U’s public land – almost 17,000 of them – with embedded Wikipedia articles about the type of tree.

Happy Friday, and good luck digitally exploring the breadth of botany we have here in Champaign-Urbana.
