In Kyiv, a virtual map will be created, on which digitized information about each tree that is on the city's balance sheet will be placed.
About this Told me Oleksandr Vozny, head of the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources, in an interview with "Vechirnyi Kyiv".

Currently, there is a schematic map in Kyiv that shows only the boundaries of green zones, and the project to create a new map involves recording every single tree without exception.
"That is, we are not limited to parks and squares, but work with absolutely all trees in the balance areas of the city. On this map, you will be able to see where the tree is located (with reference to the exact coordinates), in what condition it is, what manipulations were carried out with it, etc.," Oleksandr Vozniy explained.
When filling out the online map, a photo will be taken of each object with detailed information about what kind of tree it is, what it looks like, what parameters it has.

According to Oleksandr Vozny, the digital database, which will contain all the information about the trees, will help protect green areas from unwanted influence and illegal actions.
"The system we are currently implementing will allow us to conduct a clear inventory and understand how many trees are in the city of Kyiv and in what condition they are. It is important that the system is developed with protection against any attempts to interfere and "twist" something. Let's say, let's pretend that there was never a tree in this place," the ecologist emphasized.
It is known that work on the creation of the map began in the summer of 2021, and from November they began to work on its filling.
