The Urban Forest Cloud is an online tree data collection and management tool developed by PHS for its various planting and urban forestry programs (i.e. Tree Tenders, TreeVitalize Watersheds). PHS staff and Tree Tenders use the Cloud tool to input, update and map tree data.
Eligible individuals and organizations can apply for trees or grants through the tool as well.
How to Use the Urban Forest Cloud
The Urban Forest Cloud can be used on desktop and mobile devices (phones, iPads and tablets) that have connection to the internet. It is recommended that you use Google Chrome as your browser.
