In order to report your tree, shrub or flower observations, you will need to know the geographic coordinates of your location, your latitude and longitude (Lat/Lon). Please determine your Lat/Lon in decimal degrees. Here are some suggestions for finding these coordinates:
- Enter a street address or city/state location in the UCAR Geocoder.
- A GPS unit outside at your location. Report as many decimal places as the unit provides.
- Topographic map
- Need help in converting degrees/minutes/seconds to decimal degrees? Converter from the National Geodetic Survey
- Would you like to learn how to do this yourself? Wikipedia geographic coordinate conversion
