I would like to sort the information in the Heritage Tree Database into a year or two of bicycle tours where I can visit the most convenient and accessible representative of each species. I can’t see how I can program the ESRI site to consider travel radius consistent with my bicycling ability so as to make a “bucket list” with “traveling sales man” sort of schedules for an afternoon.

I think I could program this for myself if I could get the full data shown in pop-up panels. For this I would use species, street address, geo-coordinate, ownership and probably most other fields for convenience of reporting. I would release my programs into the open source and acknowledge the data sources I use.

We did discover last week that Heritage Trees 370 and 371 have the wrong address, even though they’re in the correct location on the map. They are at 2627 NE 11th Ave, not Fremont Ave.

Here’s another Heritage Tree map that Jeff Reitman built using Heritage Tree data: post
