According to the Maharashtra (Urban Areas) Preservation of Trees Act, 1975 (amendments done in 2009, Hon Court Order 2013), Census of existing trees on all lands within Municipal Corporation limit should be done in every five year. Trees census is a critical job which requires specialized manpower in the field of botany with knowledge of trees. There are limitations with the staff, duration and the scientific knowledge required for survey.
It is observed that most of the municipal corporations have done their Tree census with inordinate delay due to lack of appropriate knowledge and without aid of modern technology.
To overcome the limitations during tree census we are launching user friendly android based Tree Census Software. Tree Census Survey Software runs on general table PC having inbuilt GPS facility which makes the results more accurate. This GIS & GPS based paperless exercise involves physical survey according of individual trees in the defined area with relevant details such as latitude, botanical name, common name, approx age, height, girth etc.
This application can be used by the Municipal Corporation, Researchers, Forest Department, and Environmental Department etc. to carry Individual or Government survey.
