Calling all citizen scientists, oak enthusiasts, and anyone with a smartphone!
Join the Oak Monitoring Team and help track re-oaking efforts in Napa County.
Team members visit publicly accessible planting sites and use an app (on either an iPad or their phone) to take GPS points and record observations about how the trees are doing. The observations are incorporated in real-time into an on-line Oak Planting Map– everyone can view the data instantly!
To be part of the Team, you need the following tools:
- A smart device with cell reception (phone or tablet)
- The GIS Collector App downloaded on your device
- A brief training with Napa RCD
- The brief “How to” guide that walks you through using the app
- Sturdy shoes (sometimes the plantings are surrounded by weeds) and your favorite outdoor adventure outfit!
