ebottcher.bsky.social @ebottcher.bsky.social · 15/10/2026All 114 street trees along West 75th Street, from Central Park West to Riverside Drive, now have their own identification cards with QR codes. Scan one with your phone, and the tree will tell you about its species, its history, and what it needs to stay healthy. 110 0
ebottcher.bsky.social @ebottcher.bsky.social · 15/10/2026This project is about more than technology. It’s about helping New Yorkers, especially children, develop a deeper appreciation for the trees that make our neighborhoods healthier, cooler, and more beautiful. As the saying goes, people are more likely to care for something once they care about it. 130 0
