The Geographic Information System and interactive map were developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute, University of York (Steve Cinderby, Howard Cambridge, Douglas Wang), using SEIY data, a topographic site plan created by Latitude Surveys Ltd., with data from the Yorkshire Arboretum’s database created and maintained by tKnowIT Ltd. The volunteer work of Mike Ridealgh (SEIY), Francesca Smith and other members of the Yorkshire Arboretum’s Plant Records team is gratefully acknowledged.
This interactive map and the Yorkshire Arboretum's Geographic Information System has been made possible by generous funding from the Peter Sowerby Foundation and the Tom Sherwood Bequest.
