Discover Avenue Trees
By Karthikeyan S.
Trees are an important aspect of an urban landscape. They provide shade, colour, and visual relief; not to mention fresh air, moderation of temperature and other not so easily measured services. Numerous living creatures depend on the trees for their survival too. Thus, trees form an important and irreplaceable component of the urban scenario.
For a school student or an enthusiast, just starting out, there are no alternatives to a full-fledged professional guide book. This publication is meant to fill that void. It is meant to encourage people to look at trees and learn more about them. We hope that it will contribute in a small way to protect trees we have been left with.
Discover Avenue Trees was conceptualized and realized to meet this need as an illustrated low-cost popular material. This booklet deals with 50 species of avenue trees, each with colourful images and information of popular interest. There are also nuggets of natural history observations made by the author.
