Riparian tree mapping - 10 May, 2026

The citizen groups of Pune River Revival, Pune PCMC River Revival and Pune Samvad cordially invite you for a unique session on riparian tree mapping.

The term riparian means of or relating to wetlands adjacent to rivers and streams. Whereas tree mapping refers to creating a detailed database of the trees under observation. Here, we walk through the dense trees near the Mula river and capture their details like girth, height, species name etc. as a record of the presence of those trees and the various wildlife around them.

Difficulty level : Easy

Free to join.

No prior experience is needed; love for nature is sufficient

You will get to see the greenest and most serene parts of Pune and also get a chance to know Mother Nature more closely by observing age old trees.

Who can join

1. You can join as an expert if you are good at identifying plants

2. Otherwise, you can join as a volunteer and help the experts to collect the data. We help with on-site training during the mapping sessions where you can easily create the required database in a short period.

4. Parents can bring kids above age 10.
