Ashburton District Tree Inventory

Xyst collected tree data on all of Ashburton District Council’s (ADC) street and park trees including GPS location, species, maturity, condition and potential risk features. We used a data collection tool developed by ADC that enabled us to upload tree data directly into the Council’s GIS system.

Data collection took place over several visits timed to facilitate tree identification and condition assessment.

Project Benefit

Our work enabled the client to quantify their tree assets for the procurement of tree services and to reduce the risk associated with reactive maintenance and tree hazards.
