Branché

Branché helps its users discover, identify, appreciate and protect the many species of trees present in Montreal

While walking on a beautiful day, have you ever wondered what the name of that flowering tree you just passed was? As you pass a newly planted tree, have you ever thought that it was lacking water? While gardening, have you planted a tree and wanted to reference it? For all this, all you need to do now is connect to Branché!

Created by Soverdi (greening society of metropolitan Montreal) and used until now by greening NPOs to manage their plantations and monitor the health of trees, the application is made up of a database of more than 419,605 trees, including 336,370 municipal and 83,235 private and institutional, each accompanied by a technical sheet. Precise, fast and very detailed, Branché is constantly updated by its creators and users. And now, all of this is at your fingertips in this new public version of the app!

Main Features :

- Discover the tree species around you while you walk
- Discover the trees remotely for a chosen address
- Discover statistics by area: Branché displays data concerning the quantity of trees in a given sector, the species present and their geographical coordinates.
- Differentiate trees on private and institutional land from municipal trees managed by the city
- Find out as part of which project the trees were planted (a tree for my neighborhood, greening to beautify, green alley, etc.)
- Create a more complete portrait of Montreal's urban forest: enter an unreferenced tree yourself using plantNet's visual recognition or an identification key
- Report a tree in danger: update the health of one or more specimens by reporting trees that appear to be suffering from a disease or a need for watering so that the Soverdi team can intervene
- Quickly and easily tag your favorite trees in the application
