You can make it freely editable by everybody if you want it to organically grow and you don't mind the junk, or a specified list of people can edit. See, for example, this map of some North-end schools: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid= 103825367440688316870.000443b4fb3f89699e115 It can be much fancier, with different icons for each spot.

It noted most and especially significant street and private trees and was a lovely piece. Wallingford's Mike Ruby and the Wallingford Chamber have a similar idea to highlight trees, businesses, cool stuff on a map . . . it might be a place to start and could be fluid rather than something only on paper. Having Arthur be commissioned to work on it would be the ultimate in "shop local." http://www.arthurleej.com/
