Forest Trees

About this app

The purpose of this App is to have the vital information of forest trees in a finger touch. These are the common tropical trees of India, with special focus on Central India. The scope and the targeted groups includes: Forest Guards, Students of Forestry, Students of Botany, Tree Enthusiasts, Naturalists, Nursery people, Forestry professionals and the even a common man who has a curiosity about trees and forest.
Trees were grouped based on Species, Family, Local names and their major uses. The Search option is handy to browse a piece of information at lightning speed in offline. To keep improving the App further, the option of my observation and photo attachment facility was created. The information presented in this App was collected from internet, standard books and articles; they were edited to make a simple and reliable source of information for a user. But, to improve the quality of fact and to create a knowledge pool in forest trees, my observation option was created, in which a curious user can add his observation as text as well as he/she can attach photos.

Ratings and reviews

It's just a trail version. It will be improved further with your collective input and support. Since, silviculture/forestry is a growing science lot of information is either dissipate or unavailable. Hardly, for few tree species extensive research was carried out in our country (may about 25-30 species). We need to pool the available information in the country and also we need to create information (please use the note option) Thanks for the support 🙏

There is not a great deal of apps when we come to get about knowledge of trees,how to prepare nursery,how to get biomass and volume of important species on field without going into cumbersome or unreliable processes.I found this app one of the best to answer most of queries related to important species and trees. I am a Forester myself and find this app really handy

It's a good and simple app, but quite basic. Could have been much more technical considering the qualifications of the developer. Two very useful links in the app are of Wikipedia and a notepad. Congrats. P. Jagdish, IFS, PCCF and CPD, TBGP, Chennai.
