Nevada City Tree Map, on Google Maps

My weekend project; it's at http://tinyurl.com/NevadaCityTrees.

I populated it with the 40+ trees from the Nevada City Tree Tour brochure, put together by Friends of Trees of Nevada County; then added some others. Best N.C. shade tree, hands down: the American Linden.
(See the ones in the lot on N. Pine next to the historical library.)

What's missing?

Tomorrow, back to climate change.

  2. Thanks Don for the bug report! I've deleted that shortcut.

  3. I should also add that I am not 100% sure about the mulberries (or "mulberries") since they did not appear to bear fruit over the summer. Maybe they're erratic, like walnuts?

New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)

(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)

1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
