Trees are vital to our environment. They provide shade, clean air, and beauty. Keeping track of trees helps us protect and manage them better. The tremap mobile tree mapping systems make this task easier and more efficient. We want to share how tremap works and why that matters. What Are Mobile Tree Mapping Systems? Mobile tree mapping systems are tools that help record and manage tree data using mobile devices. These systems combine GPS, cameras, and software to collect information about trees on the spot. This data includes tree species, size, health, and location. Using a mobile device, you can walk through a park, garden, or street and log details about each tree. The system stores this data in a central database. This makes it easy to access and update tree information anytime. These systems are designed to be user-friendly. They allow professionals and the public to contribute to tree data collection. This helps build a comprehensive picture of urban and rural tree populations. You can contribute. Your contribution will make a difference. Every tree counts. Mobile tree mapping system in use at a park Advantages of Mobile Tree Mapping Systems Mobile tree mapping systems offer many benefits. Here are some key advantages: Accuracy : GPS technology ensures precise tree location data. This helps avoid errors in mapping. Efficiency : Data collection is faster than traditional paper methods. You can record many trees in a short time. Accessibility : Data is stored digitally and can be shared easily. This supports collaboration between organisations and the public. Real-time updates : Changes in tree health or status can be logged immediately. This helps with timely maintenance and care. Cost-effective : Reduces the need for manual paperwork and repeated site visits. Environmental monitoring : Helps track tree growth, disease, and environmental changes over time. For example, city councils can use mobile tree mapping systems to monitor street trees. They can quickly identify trees that need pruning or removal. Botanical gardens can keep detailed records of their collections. This supports research and education. How to do tree mapping? Tree mapping involves several clear steps. Here is a simple guide to get started: Choose the mobile tree mapping system : Select a system that fits your needs. For example, the tree mapping app offers an easy-to-use platform with global reach. Prepare your equipment : Use a smartphone or tablet with GPS and camera capabilities. Plan your survey area : Decide which trees you want to map. This could be a park, street, or garden. Collect data : Walk through the area and record each tree. Capture details like species, height, diameter, and health condition. Upload data : Sync your collected data to the central database. This can often be done directly from the app. Analyse and share : Use the system’s tools to view maps, generate reports, and share information with others. By following these steps, you can create a detailed and accurate tree map. This map becomes a valuable resource for managing and protecting trees. Measuring tree trunk diameter during tree mapping Practical Uses of Mobile Tree Mapping Systems Mobile tree mapping systems serve many practical purposes. Here are some examples: Urban planning : Planners use tree data to design green spaces and improve city environments. Conservation : Tracking rare or endangered tree species helps protect biodiversity. Maintenance scheduling : Tree care teams can plan pruning, watering, and pest control based on mapped data. Public engagement : Sharing tree maps with the public raises awareness and encourages community involvement. Research : Scientists study tree growth patterns, climate impact, and disease spread using collected data. For instance, an arboretum can map its entire collection to monitor tree health and growth trends. City councils can identify areas lacking green cover and plan tree planting initiatives accordingly. Future of Tree Data Management The future of tree data management looks promising with mobile tree mapping systems. Advances in technology will make data collection even easier and more accurate. Integration with drones, AI, and satellite imagery could enhance mapping capabilities. Platforms like Tremap aim to become the global hub for tree data. They want to connect professionals and the public through a shared database. This will make tree information transparent and accessible worldwide. Such systems will support better decision-making for urban forestry and conservation. They will also help communities appreciate the value of trees in their environment.

Great day in the care of UKRI,  Innovate UK and the British High Commission, presenting to a wonderful mix of representatives of the private and public sector in West Bengal. Tomorrow we’re off to New Town, to see how this satellite city of Kolkata has developed, one of India’s showcase Smart Green Cities! What’s striking about the Indian delegates we’ve met is their enthusiasm and positivity.  No mystery why India might be one of the world’s fastest growing economies!  I had questions in my mind, too, coming to India: is green management and urban forestry a “thing” here, yet? Very much so.  And this sector is set to grow quickly. Tremap is delighted to be part of that growth curve!

Tremap kicked-off in Chennai, India, today, on Day One of its seven day delegation tour to present our solutions in India.  Richard Maxwell presented the Tremap TEM (Tree Establishment Monitoring) platform and GreenSpaces urban forestry management software to a wide section of public and private sector industry leaders from the state of Tamil Nadu. A wonderfully warm and positive reception from the Indian participants!  The nascent Indian urban green infrastructure management scene is going to explode in the next years, and there are some wonderful opportunities for collaboration, here. Big shout-out to UKRI Innovate UK for some stellar work behind the scenes, organising the event! They have certainly brought together the right mix of people.

Making Tree Planting Count Join us for an online event April 18th, from 10:00 to 12:00, as we introduce Tremap's innovative Tree Establishment Monitoring platform. Supported by Innovate UK grant funding, Cornwall based Tremap and LEAP have set out to design a simple tool to change our approach to tree planting. Millions of pounds are spent annually on tree planting efforts, but many of those trees don’t make it past sapling-hood. At Tremap, we're taking the conversation beyond planting to ensuring successful establishment of healthy trees, and provide insight on just how many trees fail, where, when and the reasons why. Whether you're involved in tree planting initiatives, a professional in the field, or simply passionate about our natural world, this platform is for you. Join us for a prototype preview, where we'll delve into the tool's creation, functionality, and the impact it will have on how we approach tree planting. Your input is vital in shaping the future of our forests. If you've ever felt frustrated by the lack of transparency in tree planting programs, or wondered why we lack essential checks and balances, this event offers a chance to be part of the solution.
