Vegetation Management · Right-of-Way
The Evidence Standard for Vegetation Management
Drones collect the imagery. POLLi turns it into governed, image-linked vegetation evidence, traceable to the source, reviewable by your team, and ready for reporting.
Traceable
Every finding links back to its source imagery and project context.
Verifiable
Outputs are reviewable and validatable by your subject matter experts.
Complete
The record contains imagery, findings, location, and review history.
The Evidence Gap
Most ROW imagery never becomes evidence.
01
Imagery is collected. Evidence is not.
Flights happen. Images land on a hard drive. Without a structured workflow, those images stay disconnected from decisions and from the reviewable record your program depends on.
02
Findings are documented, but not traceable.
Reports exist. But when questions come up, no one can trace a finding back to the source image that supports it. The documentation exists. The evidence does not.
03
Programs change. The work does not travel.
People retire. Contractors change. Analytical methods improve. Each transition is a risk to the institutional knowledge that makes a monitoring program useful over time.
POLLi turns collected imagery into governed, reviewable vegetation evidence: organized, traceable, and built to outlast the people and tools that created it.
The POLLi Workflow
From collected imagery to governed evidence.
-
01
Fly
Collect imagery at the required resolution using the POLLi® Flight application, which standardizes key mission parameters across crews and monitoring cycles.
-
02
Upload
Import source imagery directly into the POLLi® platform, where it is organized, preserved, and linked to the project record from the start.
-
03
Standardize
Apply defined processing and analysis workflows so findings are produced consistently, regardless of which crew, contractor, or monitoring cycle generated them.
-
04
Review
Review findings while maintaining their direct connection to the source imagery. Subject matter experts stay in control; model-assisted analysis expands review capacity without replacing judgment.
-
05
Report
Share results or export GIS-ready outputs for operational use. Every deliverable stays connected to the imagery and review history that produced it.
POLLi in action. Vegetation evidence collection and review across real ROW conditions.
The Governed Evidence Standard
Every POLLi finding meets the same quality mark.
T
Traceable
Every finding links back to its source imagery and project context. Nothing disappears into a report or a contractor deliverable. The connection between what was captured and what was concluded is preserved.
V
Verifiable
Outputs can be reviewed and validated by your team or subject matter experts. Model-assisted analysis supports review capacity; expert judgment remains the authority on what findings mean.
C
Complete
The record contains the imagery, findings, location, review history, and outputs needed for review or reuse. A complete record is one that can be understood and acted on without the original team.
Model-Supported Review
The model identifies. The SME decides. The Evidence Pack records both.
The Deliverable
The Evidence Pack™
The Evidence Pack is the standardized output of every POLLi workflow: image-linked findings, GIS-ready data, and a reviewable record organized by corridor, site, and monitoring cycle.
Because each Evidence Pack preserves the connection between imagery, analysis, review, and findings, your program does not have to start over when people, contractors, or analytical methods change. Each monitoring cycle adds to what came before.
Who POLLi Serves
Built for right-of-way and land stewardship operations.
Any organization responsible for vegetation along a corridor, around an asset, or across a habitat area faces the same underlying challenge: how to build a consistent, reviewable evidence record over time. POLLi is built around that challenge.
Transportation
Roadside Managers and DOTs
Standardized vegetation evidence for highway ROW management, maintenance documentation, and state or federal reporting requirements.
Electric Utility
Distribution and Transmission
Image-linked evidence for vegetation clearance, cycle-to-cycle comparability, and NERC compliance documentation along distribution and transmission corridors.
Oil and Gas
Midstream Pipeline Operators
Traceable vegetation monitoring records for PHMSA compliance and pipeline corridor management, with consistent evidence across seasons and contractor changes.
Renewable Energy
Solar Operations
Vegetation evidence for panel clearance management, site comparability across installations, and ongoing stewardship documentation.
Conservation
Habitat and Stewardship Programs
Structured monitoring records for pollinator habitat, biodiversity documentation, and programs that require consistent, reviewable evidence over multiple years.
Rail
Railroad Corridor Management
Consistent vegetation evidence for safety clearances and corridor stewardship along rail ROW, with image-linked records across inspection cycles.
Innovation Partners
“At Davey, we appreciate POLLi®'s focus on conservation and commitment to providing cost-effective solutions. We are excited to become an Innovation Partner to help raise the bar for the management and assessment of ROW habitats.
