Theme 4: Inventory and Management of Urban Trees​

Image
The fourth research theme aims to improve the inventory and management of urban trees in Quebec. We seek to test a participatory approach that involves citizens in the inventory of private trees, thereby expanding data sets while raising awareness about sustainable management. Additionally, we are exploring the use of drone-based LiDAR to collect LiDAR and hyperspectral data, enabling precise mapping of trees and detailed species classification. The projects in this research theme combine community engagement and cutting-edge technology to provide optimized and sustainable management of urban green spaces.
