Remote Arborist Assessment Tools
Sustainable Green Team Created a Remote Arborist Assessment Tool
Colin Smith — January 8, 2026Tele‑Arborist is a mobile application introduced by Sustainable Green Team that combines LiDAR scans, 360 degree imagery, and blockchain‑backed affidavits to produce certified remote tree assessment reports. The company states the platform is covered by a provisional patent and designed to integrate with its waste‑to‑value restoration systems. Tele‑Arborist is presented as a tool for remote triage and decision making, enabling spatially referenced diagnostics without an on‑site arborist visit and generating tamper‑resistant records intended for homeowners, insurers, and environmental managers.
The announcement frames Tele‑Arborist as a means to reduce physical inspections and standardize documentation for claims, permitting, and restoration projects. Key considerations for prospective users include the accuracy and repeatability of LiDAR measurements from consumer devices, the legal and practical robustness of blockchain attestations, interoperability with existing asset management systems, and the company’s claims about patent protection and commercial readiness. Independent field trials, third‑party validation of measurement tolerances, and clear data retention and privacy policies will be important to confirm operational benefits and quantify any cost or time savings relative to conventional on‑site arborist inspections.
