data analysis predictive modeling dashboard data management data mining knowledge discoveryThis project aims to enhance the Community Supported Forestry Database by refining and analyzing plant and community data to support the growth of backyard urban tree nurseries throughout Edmonton.
The primary goal is to clean and standardize data related to plant genera, species, seed sources, propagation methods, users, and neighbourhoods. Students will compare this data with established plant inventories, such as the USDA Plant Database, the Missouri Botanic Garden Plant Finder, Sheffields Seeds, and locally curated documents. By doing so, they will identify discrepancies and ensure data accuracy. Additionally, the project involves using refined plant data to predict horticultural trends and determine which species are likely to thrive in Edmonton's evolving climate. Furthermore, learners will analyze community data to forecast customer trends and extract demographic and psychographic insights, aiding in marketing strategies for memberships and tree donations.
This project's deliverables include a cleaned and standardized Community Supported Forestry Database with accurate plant and community data.
Students will deliver a predictive analysis dashboard on horticultural trends and species viability in Edmonton's climate and community data analysis to highlight community insights that may suggest strategies for promoting memberships and tree donations.
