How It Works

1. Sign in to create an account
2. Photograph green infrastructure you find — planters, street trees, green walls, rain gardens, and more
3. Set the type and condition (Poor, OK, or Good)
4. Location is auto-detected from photo GPS, your device, or placed manually on the map
5. Submit and it appears as a marker on the map

Features

• Multiple observations: Add follow-up observations to existing sightings to track changes over time
• AI species ID: Use your camera to identify plant species automatically
• Issue tracking: Flag problems (damage, overgrown, etc.) — issues persist across observations until marked as resolved
• Shape outlines: Draw rectangles, circles, or freehand polygons to show the extent of larger features
• Observation timeline: View the full history of observations for each sighting
• Edit and update: Modify your sightings — change type, condition, species, location, images, and issues
