Chandigarh University Launches Project to Digitally Map and Preserve Heritage Trees in Mohali
Chandigarh University has launched a project to identify, document, and conserve heritage trees in SAS Nagar (Mohali) district, threatened by urbanization. Funded with an 11-lakh grant from the Punjab Biodiversity Board, the initiative uses GIS and remote sensing technologies to create the district's first comprehensive digital database of ecologically, culturally, and religiously significant trees. Led by the university's Department of Biosciences, the project aims to support evidence-based conservation and long-term management of these natural assets.
