Editor's Notes
- User Groups/Applications HOAs, small municipalities, etc. HOAs, small municipalities or any other group that can’t afford their own GIS software or are intimidated by GIS can use this as their one-stop shop to collect new tree inventories or to map existing ones that may have been handed down to them. Because these users can import and export data as a shapefile, the data they collect in CO-TV can still be used in ESRI and other GIS software programs. Funding solicitors Because CO-TreeView’s advanced filters allow users to view their tree inventory data by single trees, defined selections of trees or as a whole data set, it is useful for funding solicitors because it helps them to quantify things. For example, you could view all of the data for ash trees on a given property if you wanted to request money from someone to treat or remove the trees threatened by the emerald ash borer. And if you know how many ash trees are on the property, something you can look at with CO-TV when you view by species, you can estimate how much money that’s going to take. To make this software even more useful for funding solicitors (and all other users), The Colorado Tree Coalition is doing some funding soliciting of its own right now, seeking grant funding to help us pay for an add-on to this application called Ecosystem Services, which I think would be great. It would allow our users to view the quantified ecosystem benefits provided by their trees – such as energy savings, air quality improvement and carbon sequestration – for individual trees or specified groups of trees, which I think would help funding solicitors to create really compelling arguments for protecting existing trees and taking good care of them. Researchers The application for CO-TreeView that I’m probably most excited about is that of providing data added by our users to researchers for scientific studies. With the release earlier this year of CO-TreeView, forestry and wildlife researchers now have a central location where they can get all statewide tree information in one place. Less than a month after its unveiling, CO-TV had already been targeted by multiple researchers as a data source for studies that would improve urban forest management across Colorado and even nationwide.
