Xyst collected tree data on more than 1,600 of Ruapehu District Councils (RDC) street and park trees.
Data collected included GPS location, species, maturity, size, condition, recommended works, life expectancy and a photo per tree. We used our in-house data collection tool to provide the data to Council (via shape file and Excel) for uploading onto Council’s internal systems.
Data collection took place over two visits timed to facilitate tree identification and condition assessment.
