Interactive Tree Management System (ITMS)
Project details:
A Web-GIS powered solution designed to support forest ecosystem restoration
and sustainable management. Developed at Dedan Kimathi University
of Technology’s arboretum, the system integrates geospatial data
with a robust PostgreSQL database to monitor tree health, tree locations,
and species-specific growth parameters. By streamlining field data collection
and visualization, it addresses key challenges in arboretum management—such as
invasive species removal and reforestation—and offers a scalable approach
for similar restoration projects. Ultimately, the project demonstrates
how modern geospatial tools can drive effective biodiversity conservation
and climate resilience.
