Four PNW forms
Original Douglas fir, western redcedar, bigleaf maple and red alder geometry, with several distance-based detail levels. Specific species and missing sizes are visual estimates where the source provides only a broad class.
More Pacific Northwest.
A new ride to explore it.
A Subaru XV / Crosstrek, mature firs and cedars, and tree cover placed using Bellingham’s own mapping.
Trees where the source maps put them
Municipal inventory locations anchor street and park trees. Historic canopy crowns fill wooded neighborhoods, parks and hillsides. Trees that conflict with the game’s roads, buildings, water or riding surfaces are omitted; dense crowns are simplified for performance.
| Source | What it tells us | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| City municipal inventory | Mapped tree locations, species, trunk size and condition where recorded. | Sources include field checks, surveys and plans. Accuracy varies. |
| City 2018 tree canopy | Observed crown footprints and conifer/deciduous classification. | Crown centers approximate tree locations; they are not surveyed trunks. |
| City 2013 LiDAR heights | Historical heights where a persistent tree ID matches. | Growth, removals and changes since capture are unknown. |
Wooded views from farther away
Shared meshes and cheaper distant crowns keep the canopy visible beyond the old tree draw distance. The tour’s comparison button switches back to the previous tree rendering so you can judge the change.
