This is a map of all the Linden trees in Buffalo, NY. I got the idea for this map after watching this video from the Black Forager about how you can make something chocolate-like from the seed pods of the Linden tree. Tea made from Linden flowers is also one of my favorite teas. I wanted to make a map of areas where I could forage from Linden trees, ideally away from any major sources of pollution. It turns out that there are a LOT of Linden trees in Buffalo.
- Software used: ArcGIS Pro
The data was found on the Buffalo Open Data Portal. The tree data came as a CSV file, and I also used a dataset on zoning and one with highways and roads, both of which came as Shapefiles. I used the Buffer tool to create the "Pollution Zones".
