Remote Tree Surveys

Gentian delivers rapid tree surveys using sub-50 cm satellite imagery and AI-driven environmental data. We empower landowners, developers, and asset managers to map canopy cover and estimate tree counts at scale—eliminating the need for boots on the ground.

How our tree surveys work

Gentian leverages sub-50 cm satellite imagery and proprietary AI to deliver rapid, tree risk surveys with precision. We map canopy cover and estimate tree counts across urban, rural, and natural landscapes.

Our models identify individual tree features where resolution allows, and generates granular spatial outputs for planning, risk modeling, and green infrastructure strategies.

Engineered for scale, our data accelerates ESG reporting and TNFD alignment—empowering organizations to quantify, manage, and disclose tree assets with confidence.

What is a tree survey for?


Accurate tree surveys underpin strategic planning, development, and risk mitigation. These surveys quantify the extent of canopy assets, assesses material risks, and drives alignment with climate resilience and green infrastructure goals.

Gentian’s remote environmental data is engineered for accelerating due diligence, establishing risk baselines, and optimizing ESG and TNFD disclosures.

Why is a tree survey important for biodiversity?


Trees represent critical green infrastructure underpinning climate resilience. They drive ecological connectivity, regulate microclimates, and secure soil and water health—functioning as the backbone of resilient ecosystems.

Tree surveys quantify these natural assets. By tracking distribution, canopy cover, and changes over time, asset managers and developers drive data-backed decisions to mitigate risk and optimize ecological value.

FAQs

How often should a tree survey be carried out?

Frequency depends on operational objectives. For site scoping or initial risk baselines, a single precision assessment is sufficient. For continuous biodiversity tracking, asset management, and TNFD alignment, we recommend annual updates—or immediate refresh following significant environmental changes.

How long does a tree survey take?

Gentian’s remote tree surveys are typically delivered within 3–5 business days. While expansive multi-site portfolios may require additional time, we eliminate the logistical bottlenecks and seasonal delays of manual fieldwork.

What information do I need to provide for a tree survey quote?

To generate a proposal, simply provide a site boundary (Shapefile, KML, or map screenshot) and your desired strategic outputs—such as canopy cover, tree counts, or TNFD alignment.
