Who made what

Plant photographs

All from Wikimedia Commons. Each is Public Domain, CC0, CC BY, or CC BY-SA. Images were resized to about 900px wide and re-encoded as JPEG; nothing else was changed.

CC BY-SA requires that a modified version of the image itself be released under the same licence. Displaying them unmodified in the game, credited as above, is within terms.

Fungus photographs

Also from Wikimedia Commons. Unlike the plants, every one of these requires attribution: there is no public-domain photograph in this set. Resized to about 900px wide and re-encoded as JPEG; nothing else was changed.

Schenley Park photographs

The species Schenley shares with Frick Park reuse the photographs above, because they are the same organism. These are the ones you will only find in Schenley. Two are public domain; every other one on this list requires attribution.

Highland Park photographs

The species Highland shares with the other two parks reuse the photographs above, because they are the same organism. These are the ones you will only find in Highland.

The park

Frick, Schenley and Highland are real places, run by the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy. Nine Mile Run was buried under industrial slag for most of the twentieth century and dug back out in one of the largest urban stream restorations ever attempted in the United States. The Environmental Center, the Blue Slide, the lawn bowling green and the clay courts are all there. Go and see them.
