What : The Neighbourhood Trees Campaign is a nationwide event where participants will photograph, map and share stories on trees from across India.
When : From 22 - 27 April 2014
Why : The aim is to record the distribution of species across India. Checklists and distribution maps of trees can be valuable information towards protecting them. All observations, lists and maps are freely available for download under Creative Commons licenses and can be useful for research studies. Most importantly, it is a fun activity to do during this time of the year when many trees are in bloom!
How : It is simple, easy and a lot of fun. Grab a friend, take your camera, mobile phone or note pad; photograph and document trees in your garden, road, neighbourhood park, farms, forests, lake shores, river banks, etc. You can also join an existing local event or sign up to organize one here.
