Scanning of public trees citywide, specifically those within the boulevards and rights-of-way, is underway as part of the city’s Smart Tree Inventory project. Smart Tree Inventory utilizes artificial intelligence and LiDAR, laser pulses that measure distances and create high-resolution 3D maps, to take a digital inventory of all public trees in the city. Scanning involves crews traveling around Plymouth in vehicles mounted with sensors that detect and analyze tree size, condition, canopy volume
