“PlanIT Geo comes with great solutions, knowledge, and experience on how cities can track, manage, and form policies for their urban forests. Together we can strengthen our respective offerings and for us at HUGSI, this means we can share more insights about the tree canopy to benefit all HUGSI cities” said Erik Swan, Product owner for HUGSI.green.
