This project aims to harness the potential of remote sensing technologies, including drone imagery and multispectral sensors, to enhance climate resilience in landscape restoration and low-impact development (LID) sites. Early detection of vegetative stressors such as drought, nutrient deficiencies, or invasive species will enable proactive, adaptive management, ultimately sustaining urban green spaces and reducing climate impacts. By contributing tools for climate-sensitive site monitoring, the project supports Canadian Landscape Charter principles of stewardship, knowledge expansion, and leadership in sustainable urban development.
