Volunteer Opportunity: GPS Coordinate Data Collection – open to all!
We are looking for 20-25 volunteers to collect GPS Coordinates for Denver Digs Trees trees planted in the right-of-way. This volunteer opportunity requires a ~1.5 hour training. The data collection portion will take place on your own time.
both at The Treehouse (450 Decatur St. Denver, CO 80204)
These coordinates allow Denver’s Office of the City Forester keep an accurate inventory of street trees. Volunteers will use Forestry’s online survey on their smartphones with the location turned on to capture location data of trees planted in their neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Volunteers can expect to be assigned anywhere from 10-15 trees, and location can be captured any time during May and June.
Tree ID skills are helpful, but not necessary. Some Tree ID will be taught as part of the GPS Coordinate Training and reference guides will be made available.
A smartphone is required for this volunteer opportunity.
