If I zoom out I get "73 species in view" and if I zoom in I get "313 species in view"

?

Anyway, it would be nice if there was a filter so you could select all trees of a given type. Or view all the public trees versus privately owned trees.

You can filter by tree type on the official map (which I think shows the same data): https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/parks-green...

I've seen several of these maps (they are available for most large German cities) and i always ask myself what the value proposition and applications for such maps are. It seems like they take large resources (e.g. manual collection of the data) to create.
