About the observatory
We use a variety of monitoring toolsâincluding dendrometers, phenocams, and weather stationsâto track tree growth and phenology (seasonal cycles) across Nova Scotia in near-real time.Â
Established in 2019, our network now spans 24 sites and over 160 monitored trees, offering a province-wide view of forest health and resilience under climate change. Through this website, you can explore frequent status maps, download data, access growing season updates, and learn more about our monitoring technologies.
Our network
Our phenocam stations span the province, from coastal Acadian forests to interior highland stands, capturing the diversity of growing conditions.
