TREESURE project

TREESURE project

Funded by the European Union

The challenge: Tree failure risk

Stronger storms increase the risk of tree fall in urban areas.

A smart Decision Support System

Tools for risk-informed urban tree management.

Satellite and sensors data

Combining satellite and IoT monitoring.

Nature-based innovation

Stabilising trees using root-anchoring systems.

Co-creating resilient cities

Working with local stakeholders across Europe.

• ESA satellite data provides large-scale vegetation monitoring.
• IoT sensors collect real-time information on tree movement and stress.
• Integrated data improves prediction of potential tree failure.

• A Decision Support System (DSS) for monitoring tree health and stability.
• Supports risk managers, practitioners, and local authorities.
• Enables early warnings and informed decisions before extreme weather events.

• Climate change is intensifying windstorms across Europe.
• Urban trees provide major benefits but can also become hazards during extreme events.
• Cities need better tools to balance safety, resilience, and ecosystem services.

• TREESURE develops root-anchoring solutions to improve tree stability.
• Anchoring systems are adapted to tree species, soil conditions, and risk levels.
• Helps maintain urban greenery while reducing safety risks.

• Tested in Cecina (Italy), Soria (Spain), and Brașov (Romania).
• Stakeholders participate through case studies, tabletop exercises, and co-design workshops.
• Results include guidelines, policy tools, and improved disaster preparedness.
