#ParksMatter Tree Inventory and Marking Completed in Three City Parks in Ivano-Frankivsk!

As part of the project “Urban Parks Matter – A New Approach to Urban Greenery Management in Ivano-Frankivsk and Rzeszów (ParksMatter)”, implemented under the Interreg NEXT Poland – Ukraine 2021–2027 Programme, an important stage in the preservation and effective management of the city's green spaces has been completed.

A comprehensive inventory of trees and other vegetation has been carried out in three city parks, covering a total area of approximately 34 hectares:

• Taras Shevchenko Park;
• Molodizhnyi Park;
• Internationalist Soldiers Park.

During the inventory, information on the green spaces, their characteristics and condition was collected and systematised.

All collected data has been uploaded to the specially developed website parks.if.ua, where everyone can explore the inventory results. Currently, the website provides information on green spaces in these three parks only. However, its functionality allows the database to be expanded in the future by adding other green areas, trees and vegetation across Ivano-Frankivsk. The digital platform can therefore serve as the foundation for a comprehensive citywide database of green spaces and vegetation, supporting systematic record-keeping, monitoring and effective maintenance planning.

Another significant achievement was the marking of 6,000 trees. This marking makes it possible to identify individual trees, maintain accurate records and ensure a systematic approach to monitoring their condition.

Special attention was given to trees of particular natural and ecological value. Information plaques have been installed next to 50 particularly valuable trees, helping residents and visitors learn more about the natural heritage of our parks and encouraging a responsible attitude towards the environment.

The inventory results, tree marking and introduction of digital tools lay the groundwork for a modern, systematic and evidence-based approach to urban green space management. This is an important step towards preserving biodiversity, strengthening the city's environmental resilience and creating a more comfortable and greener urban environment for its residents.
