Silva Metrics for the technical staff of parks and gardens
Silva Metrics for parks and gardens technicians: plant and furniture inventory, plant health, risk, invasive species and reports in one tool.
Who this page is for
For parks and gardens technical staff: whoever maintains the inventory, validates what comes in from the field and decides what is done first.
What it solves
Technical work is spread across files, spreadsheets, photos and messages, and the answer to “what was done to this tree?” is often in somebody’s head. Silva Metrics keeps each element with its history so the inventory does not go stale.
What it offers
Inventory with as much detail as you need
Green areas, plants, furniture and irrigation, with the level of detail you decide. The whole green space in one place.
Inspections with their own schedule
Each family of furniture reminds you when its next check is due. Nothing important goes unchecked.
Plant health and risk
A list ranks the specimens at risk and the map flags sensitive places. You know what to check first.
Invasive species
A map shows each outbreak and how it evolves. You see whether it is growing or receding.
Data to decide with
Shade, flowering, biodiversity and PDF reports. Decisions backed by arguments you can show.
Use cases
- After a storm. The risk list shows where to start the round.
- Before a pruning. The specimen’s history tells what was done and with what result.
- Planning a replacement. You see which furniture is nearing the end of its service life.
How it is used
- You open the map and see the new reports.
- You validate what arrives from the field and turn what needs it into work.
- You consult the history by scanning a code with your account.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to inventory tree by tree?
No. A specimen can have its own record or be logged as a mass when the whole matters. You decide where detail is worth it.
How is a plant health problem recorded?
With a simple note of what was observed, even if whoever spots it cannot name it.
What happens to invasive species reported by the public?
They wait for an accredited person to confirm them.
