Mysuru city has begun a large tree census led by the district administration and Bherunda Foundation. So far, 48,000 trees have been recorded. The goal is to finish the survey in all 65 wards by March 31. This effort will help Mysuru become a greener city. Named the 'Mysuru Tree Audit 2025–26', the project involves scientific documentation of every tree. Each tree is geo-tagged and measured for height, trunk diameter, canopy spread, and health. The survey also checks for diseases and threats like root damage. The data will help in urban planning and shaping new environmental policies. Bherunda Foundation President Trishika Kumari Wodeyar highlighted the importance of trees, saying, "They not only enhance green cover but also provide abundant oxygen. Understanding the importance of tree-related data is vital, and I urge every citizen to become part of this initiative." The survey is run with help from the Centre for Advanced Learning, Mangaluru, using scientific methods and citizen participation. After the project ends in March 2026, a detailed report with biodiversity and carbon stock data will be released. Organizers called on citizens and volunteers to join through training, surveys, and awareness campaigns, saying, "The Mysuru Tree Audit 2025–26 is not merely a survey; it is a pledge of responsibility towards nature and the future of our children."
