I am looking for further information on a product used for tree inventorys. It is a computer chip implanted in the tree. I have the article stating its use in Paris in 1999 and Comments from Richard Abbott. Can any one point me to the company?

Subject: Tree ID Chips?


Hi,

I'm helping to write a proposal for a project that uses remote sensing to
identify hazard trees. I know there are "bio-chips" that you can put into
trees that will give you a serial number. We got a quote of $5.95 per
chip, and that sounded a little high. Is anyone using these? Who makes
chips/scanners that are the best value for the money? I'm trying to get a
cost estimate for the grant proposal. (respond via e-mail if possible)

Thanks,
Nick D.
