Gwinnett Technical College (GTC) has launched it Gwinnett Trees Count web site, an online inventory of the college’s urban forest campus that will serve as a resource for community residents and GTC students alike.
Gwinnett Trees Count provides a viewable, online inventory of more than 800 different trees in the maintained areas of the college’s 87-acre campus. To access the site, click here: http://gisweb.gsc.edu/website/Gwinnett_Tech_Tree_Finder/viewer.htm
On the site, identified trees are viewable against an aerial backdrop of the campus and are searchable by botanical and common name. Faculty, staff, students and community residents using the site and visiting the campus are able to see and touch trees that might be suitable for a particular home or commercial environment.
Available to the public and to students, the site identifies the type of tree, in addition to statistics about its size and canopy. This information will serve as a guide to growth habit, helping the public to make wise planting choices and increasing the awareness of the value of trees to our community.
Gwinnett Tech is one of Georgia’s Tree Campus USAs.
