Riparian tree mapping

The Pune River Revival cordially invites you for a unique and free session on riparian tree mapping.

The term riparian means of or relating to wetlands adjacent to rivers and streams. Pune is blessed with many rivers like the Mula, Mutha, Pavna, Indrayani, Ramnadi, Mula-Mutha and Devnadi. Each river and its banks have a unique composition of riparian trees. These riparian corridors must be conserved, protected, and restored. However, before any restoration efforts can begin, we must first create a database of them or map them.

Difficulty level: easy

Prior experience needed: no; interest in nature is sufficient

How it is done: you can join as an expert if you are good at identifying plants; else you can join as volunteer and help the experts to collect the data. We offer on-site training and mapping sessions where you can simultaneously create the required database in a short period. You will get to see the greenest parts of Pune and also get a chance to know Mother Nature more closely. Students who have opted for elective subjects to work with NGOs and organizations are most welcome to join us.

See you!
