Does you community have a fruit tree map?

Did you know that Tel Aviv has a google map of trees with edible fruit?

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1P_UHqj7lX2dV-tvlr_ky5mhIo-o&shorturl=1&ll=32.05468616844759%2C34.770181479099506&z=16&fbclid=IwAR1XwxL4ZLoEQjg7cF4nvUiwXLDkpFzEKLlcfK1Pg4PmrfkLmkuXUgRTqaI

The trees are labeled by users as:

legitimate - meaning they are in public area and you can pick the fruit freely,

half legitimate - meaning that part of the tree is in public area,

non legitimate - meaning that it is a private tree and people are not welcome to pick the fruit.

The story is that 3 students that were fed up with the high price of fruit in their area created the map.

Users can add trees or comments about the fruit :slight_smile:

I love the communal spirit of this idea.

What other kinds of maps are special in your opinion?

Wow @Hadasul . This totally looks new to me and I never heard of this before but it’s interesting. Also I think that it is very difficult to implement this in Big countries like India. Thanks for sharing this great post

yes @VickyKrish , it is a refreshing take on maps and the possibilities of mapping things are endless. This could also be done on a neighbourhood scale in big cities.

Que estupenda idea @Hadasul , es una gran iniciativa, para que todos los que deseen tomar una fruta de los árboles públicos, gracias por compartir.

Tendrás algunas fotos para agregar a tu post de algunos árboles de los que comentas en el post.

Pictures of the trees are a great idea @FaridTDF . I am not the creator of this map, it is a known thing to some fruit lovers in Tel Aviv and locals use it, often with their kids in the afternoon on a trip around their neighborhood.

Amazing volunteer work @Hadasul , Thanks for sharing.

One of the important kind of maps that we create in Iran Local Guides community is for important exhibitions. For example the map of Tehran Book Fair is one of the most referral ones.

It is not my map @Amiran , the story is that 3 students were fed up with the high prices of fruit and made it.

A map for an exhibition sounds very helpful, just shows you the vast possibilities. Thanks for sharing this.

Jaja , en general las buenas ideas son hijas de la necesidad @Hadasul , que los precios de una fruta motorice a que unos estudiantes releven este mapa es impresionante, considerando todo el esfuerzo que ello requiere. tu colaboraste con este mapa para agregar algún árbol de fruta ?

In Israel, families with toddlers often feed silkworms in the springtime and search for Mulberry trees so they can feed the silkworms the leaves. Another use of the fruit tree map.
