Say Hello to Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer
• The Shot Hole Borer is infesting trees in the Arroyo Seco
• It bores into a host tree, deposits Fusarium and the Fusarium kills the tree
• Need to remove infested trees to prevent further spreading of the pest

Solution
• Use Collector for ArcGIS!>Partner w/ Arroyo Seco Foundation
volunteers>Multi-user edits to same dataset>Offline data collection (unreliable data
signals in the Arroyo)>Monitor progress remotely

Challenges
• Volunteers can be unreliable• Offline editing required extra step for volunteers to
complete• Syncing w/ photos often failed due to large file
size• Project requires volunteers to have smart devices
