Researchers from University College London (UCL), the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, and the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) are collaborating with RIEGL UK to gain new insights into some of the UK’s rare and exceptional ancient oak trees using the RIEGL VZ-400i terrestrial laser scanner. The SCATTER project (Scanning Ancient Trees with Terrestrial LiDAR) employs a novel LiDAR based approach to assess ancient oaks, raise awareness about their legal status, and provide new insights for their conservation.
Leading the efforts to study and conserve these natural icons are Professor Mat Disney and Dr. Cecilia Chavana-Bryant at UCL, along with Dr. Phil Wilkes at Kew. Funded by the Woodland Trust, they have used LiDAR to capture the unique structural complexity of 40 ancient oaks, offering insights into their growth patterns and ecological importance. LiDAR is a new tool for this kind of work and allows the creation of extremely detailed 3D models of these individual and vulnerable trees. The SCATTER team is also collaborating with the UK’s Ancient Tree Forum to explore the potential of LiDAR as a practical tool for arboricultural assessments of ancient trees.
