The City of Plymouth is embarking on an innovative partnership to utilize artificial intelligence for surveying its tree population. This initiative employs Smart Tree Inventory technology from the Davey Resource Group, aiming to update outdated data from a tree inventory conducted 40 years ago. The project is set to enhance efficiency in managing the city's trees and their health assessments.
By integrating AI, sensors will be mounted on vehicles to gather comprehensive data on tree species, size, and health. This proactive approach allows for better planning and management of the urban forest, especially in light of challenges like the Emerald Ash Borer. The city is investing $80,000 annually for four years, with tree scanning expected to commence in the spring.
