The Kellogg Tree Project: Using Service Learning and Field Research with Geospatial Technologies

In the Fall of 2022, the Kellogg Community College wanted to submit an application to gain recognition as a “Tree Campus” through the Arbor Day Foundation. The college was forming a committee to get this done and part of the requirements was Service Learning and an inventory of the trees on campus. In the Spring and Fall of 2023 forty students used ArcGIS Survey 123 to conduct the survey research on over 600 trees on campus. This will result in a final web based public map to be linked to the colleges web page to be completed by Spring 2025.
