Modern Tree Data: Helping Councils Make Clearer, More Defensible Decisions

Free Webinar with Civica | Wednesday 19 May 2026 | 12:00 PM AEDT

Urban forests are critical infrastructure. They cool streets, absorb stormwater, support biodiversity, and shape the liveability of our cities. But managing thousands of street trees across a growing network presents a real challenge: how do you keep your inventory accurate, consistent, and defensible over time?

Traditional approaches like manual inspections, fragmented records or inconsistent data capture, can leave councils exposed. When asset registers don’t reflect what’s actually in the ground, risk assessments become harder to defend and long-term planning suffers.

A Smarter Approach to Tree Inventory

Join Civica and greehill for a free webinar exploring how modern tree data is transforming urban forest management.

greehill’s Smart Tree Inventory gives councils a verified, city-wide understanding of their tree assets. By combining LiDAR scanning, AI-powered analysis, and digital tree twins, Smart Tree Inventory delivers:

  • Consistent data capture across entire networks
  • Automated validation to reduce errors and gaps
  • Standardised metrics that support defensible decision-making

The result? A reliable foundation for risk assessment, maintenance planning, and long-term urban canopy strategy.

What You’ll Learn

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • Why traditional inventory methods struggle to keep pace with growing tree networks
  • How LiDAR and AI analysis create accurate, scalable tree data
  • The role of digital tree twins in ongoing asset management
  • Practical examples of councils using Smart Tree Inventory to strengthen decision-making
