*What :* The Neighborhood Trees Campaign is a nationwide event where participants will photograph, map and share stories on trees from across India. *When :* From 22 - 27 April 2014 *Why :* The aim is to record the distribution of species across India. Checklists and distribution maps of trees can be valuable information towards protecting them.
