Registration of trees

Registration of trees is a major task in many municipalities. The task is important because of the placement of responsibilities in connection with any accident.

Odense Municipality and others attend all trees in a 1 to 4 year cycle. The municipality of Odense has about 60000 trees registered.

When trees are inspected, a variety of conditions are recorded. This information is taken into account:

• The family and species of the tree
• Tree age (approximately)
• An assessment of the value of the tree

In addition, the condition of the tree is assessed at these points:

• The structure of the tree
• the tree crown
• stamen
• The root zone
• Possibly. sponges

And on this basis, it is assessed whether the wood must be treated, cropped or precipitated - or how long it may be before next inspection.

As the task is extensive, the GIS4Mobile app is improved for productivity reasons, for example, to treat multiple trees together - a great relief if many trees have the same general condition.
