The geotagging of nearly 600 saplings that were planted at the Government Higher Primary School Golithattu near Nelyadi last month, was completed recently. This is part of a study to compare a normal forest with the Miyawaki forests, or the urban forests that are gaining in popularity across India.

Geographical tagging, also known as geotagging, is the process of adding geographical identification data. This data consists of latitude and longitude coordinates. The coordinates could then be used to identify the geo-tagged tree, and monitor them through satellites.
