About the Project
Documenting, mapping, and celebrating the botanical wealth of our campus for future generations.
A Living Classroom for Biodiversity
The Green Campus Tree Atlas is an academic initiative born from a simple question: How many trees does our campus have, and what are they?
What began as a student project quickly grew into a comprehensive campus-wide biodiversity survey involving the Department of Botany, the IT Cell, faculty volunteers, and student researchers. Today, it stands as one of the most detailed campus tree documentation projects in the region.
Project Objectives
Our goals extend beyond simple documentation - we aim to foster environmental awareness and academic inquiry.
Scientific Documentation
Create a comprehensive, scientifically verified database of every tree on campus with botanical details, GPS coordinates, and photographic records.
Environmental Education
Transform the campus into a living outdoor classroom where students and visitors can learn about botany, ecology, and sustainability through direct interaction.
Conservation Awareness
Highlight rare, endangered, and native species to promote their conservation and raise awareness about the ecological value of campus green spaces.
QR-Based Learning
Install QR codes at every tree so anyone - student, visitor, or researcher - can instantly access detailed information on their mobile phone without an app.
Multilingual Access
Make tree information available in regional languages so that all members of the campus community - regardless of language background - can access and benefit from the atlas.
Research Support
Provide a searchable, filterable database for researchers studying campus flora, phenology, bird-tree relationships, and ecosystem services of urban green spaces.
The QR Code Learning Experience
Each tree on campus has a weatherproof QR code label mounted on a steel post nearby. Scanning it with any smartphone camera instantly opens that tree's profile page - no app required.
Look for the green QR code post near any labelled tree on campus.
Open your camera app and point it at the QR code. Tap the notification.
Read scientific details, view photos, learn about medicinal uses, and navigate to the location - all on your mobile.
