We would love to hear from other Municipal Forestry groups about their experiences / struggles with Open Data. I've only heard of Vancouver releasing their tree database to the public thus far.

Our provider added the satellite layer to the dataset view this morning. We have started to use this dataset to help citizens identify their boulevard trees by species and ID.

Is your Municipality moving in this direction? Is this a useful direction for a Municipality to move in?
