Monitoring and surveying roadsides is often a costly and time-consuming task. The deployment of AI can change this. Exotics such as Japanese knotweed or hogweed are recognised by AI with high accuracy, even small growth sites. And that at 80 - 120 kilometres per hour. We are also working on determining nectar index in roadside verges in 2025, which will also reveal the potential for pollinators. In this way, we are working towards a future with high nature value in the verge.
