Tools, Tips and Tricks

The NSW Government has rolled out a suite of handy apps to support land managers in making more informed, data-driven decisions. Designed by scientists from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, these apps provide access to years of research and highly detailed information, all at your fingertips.

With an easy-to-use interface, you can zoom into areas of interest, search by location, and access critical land data wherever you have a mobile signal. These apps are a great starting point for conducting desktop surveys of your site and surrounding areas. While incredibly useful, it’s still recommended to follow up with on-ground checks, especially for identifying Plant Community Types.

If you’ve already tried the popular Trees Near Me app, you’ll be excited to know there’s also a Restore Trees NSW app, bringing even more tools to help you manage your land with confidence.
