A Mapping effort in Thrissur District, the cultural capital of Kerala for Marking the Buildings, Roads, Trees, Ponds and other historic places in the city. The City is built around a 65-acre (26 ha) hillock called the Thekkinkadu Maidan which seats the Vadakkumnathan temple. Thekkinkadu means Teak Forest. Thekkinkadu Maidan was a dense forest in olden days. Maharaja of Cochin, Rama Varma Sakthan Thampuran cleared the place and maid the Thrissur City. It hosts the spectacular cultural festival Thrissur Pooram.

In City some greenery remains in some part and we need to survey and map the places and diversity. Because of these trees we have good birds actives and with Kole Birders community there is an efforts happening to document the avian and tree diversity of the heart of city. Hope Free Software Users Group Thrissur also join the efforts. combining all interested group we can map our city

Open Geospatial Data being generated; Great. Wish I could join too. Hope you use, MAPS.ME (Android based) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapswithme.maps.pro&hl=en_GB a great application which can be learned easily, within 10 minutes, or ODKcollect for a more structured data collection where you can design your own FORM. A related video for ODKcollect, just to initiate pl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnThhP-jVZI
