Sergeants Grove: Tree-Level Forest Survey

Drone LiDAR and multispectral survey of an urban nature grove for KKL – Jewish National Fund, mapping every individual tree and its vitality.

Location: Sergeants Grove, Netanya
Status: Completed
Goal: Give KKL an up-to-date, tree-by-tree picture of the grove to guide ecological and forestry management.
Data: Individual trees; centimetre-level orthophoto
Environment: Urban eucalyptus, pine and oak grove of high botanical value
Duration: 2026

The challenge

The grove’s previous survey relied on imagery alone. KKL needed direct tree heights, crown measurements and a reliable view of tree health across eucalyptus, pine and oak stands.

The DynamicSense intervention

We combined drone LiDAR with a separate multispectral flight, segmented individual trees from the point cloud and linked each tree to vitality indices derived from the multispectral imagery.

Outcomes & decision support

KKL received a complete tree-level GIS layer, continuous density and canopy maps, and a clear spatial pattern of declining vitality toward the core of the eucalyptus stand, a basis for targeted management.
